PLEASE HELP
Why does my router update then tell me it has FAILED? Then it reads 403 error; page not available. ROUTER MODEL: WNR2000v5 Thanks for any help you can give me; otherwise, Netgear will charge me ...
Thank you Oliver for your response.
I have Internet access with all my gadgets; no problem.
Yes, It downloads the firmware then tells me it FAILED!
My last version is V1.0.0.74 and I was trying to get the latest one V1.0.0.76 which fails.
Before I pay $89.90 I will purchase a NEW router. I am a Novice swould you suggest what kind of router would work for me?
Thank you!

This is the best option:

I know I have said that before, but no harm in repeating the usual advice. It works for most people.

Don't do that. This place is free. Lots of (mostly) helpful volunteers.
