Length of time for firmware download
Received email to update firmware for my WNR2000v5 router Version 1.0.0.42. Did this from my computer as instructed. Finally got to where I needed to be and put in the download and it just keeps goi...
I finally just clicked on things and it brought up the info. I was able to see the current firmware version was correct and everything seemed to be working, so not sure why it just kept showing it was uploading. I've had some connection issues with cable today so it may have been the problem. But all seems to be functioning correctly now

Finally got to where I needed to be and put in the download and it just keeps going....has been 1-1/2 hours. It says not to interrupt so afraid to do anything. All lights are green not the router. What do I do?
No a hour and a half is not normal maybe 5 to 20 minutes or just a little longer depanding your internet speed and how fast the gpu is in the router and your network but no hour and half.
How did it turn out does the router work I saw were you said the lights were all green but it sounds like you have a problem with your router?
