Image will not upgrade
I have a WNDR3700v2 router. It is currently on firmware V1.0.0.32. I am trying to upgrade to the latest which I have downloaded (WNDR3700v2_WNDR37VVv2-V1.0.1.14.img). I keep getting the following ...
> There is no firmware 1.0.0.32.
I'm sure that you must be right, but:
https://kb.netgear.com/22083/WNDR3700v2-WNDR37AVv2-Firmware-Version-1-0-0-32
Boy, that Google thing is a miracle.
Perhaps there's a reason that 1.0.0.32 is no longer available.
I know nothing, but you might try to get an answer from Netgear,
although that may be difficult and/or expensive. Failing that, there's
a TFTP scheme which may be able to force firmware of your choice down
its throat, but there is some risk of inappropriate firmware disabling
the gizmo.
I have double checked and it’s firmware is 1.0.0.32 and the model number is WNDR3700V2
This is the support section for that device:

There is no firmware 1.0.0.32.
Have you tried using the modem's browser interface to tell it to find the newest firmware?
The manual (see link above) explains how to do this.

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear that you got it working.
> Nothing within the documentation solved this issue.
There is some justification to leaving the TFTP scheme out of the
normal user documentation. Too many people with problems which it
wouldn't help would use it to get into even deeper trouble. At least
it's not an actual secret.
On the bright side, from now on you won't have to worry about usingthat nonexistent V1.0.0.32 firmware.
