What is that ISP router and how is it configured?
Is it also the device that connects you to the Internet?
How is the R6050 connected to the ISP router?
What firmware did you manage to install? And how? Only a manual install is likely to deliver the most recent.
I did a manual installation of most recent firmware (NetGear JR6150_R6050-V1.0.1.26_1.0.1), downloaded from NetGear's website.

And that modem is?
I did a manual installation of most recent firmware (NetGear JR6150_R6050-V1.0.1.26_1.0.1), downloaded from NetGear's website.Two different routers, but they may have the same firmware.
ISP Modem is Microstar GPT-2741GNAC-N1
I think the firmware is the same: NetGear "JR6150_R6050-V1.0.1.26_1.0.1", i got it from NG' website
