Latest Firmware?
Hello, I just received an e-mail from Netgear stating that my WNR2000v4 router needed a firmware update. When I attempted to get the latest update, I discovered I already had it installed. Looking at the date on the release notes, I probably installed it several months ago. So, this begs the question: why am I just now getting this e-mail notification? Is there a later version than V1.0.0.66? This is the latest version on the Netgear website. This is the version I'd installed months ago. Is there a later version that has not been uploaded to the web site yet?
Thanks,
Tim
Thanks, Elaine. That's the information I was looking for.
I don't understand why Netgear sent out the notice the other day if there was no new firemware release. The note, dated 6/21, explicitly stated that a new release was available:
"Important Security Update from NETGEAR:
