R6300v2 firmware not updating
My R6300v2 router is not updating at all. It is showing Firmware Version V1.0.3.6_1.0.63CH. I have already downloaded the newest update on my PC, however when i try to browse for the file and open it...
Hello - I am also running firmware version V1.0.3.6_1.0.63CH
Wanted to be sure I was current for any vulnerabilities, so . . .
Download R6300v2-V1.0.4.36_10.0.93.chk from netgear.com
Went into the Administration utility, selected this file, uploaded, and received the message:
The firmware file is incorrect please get the firmware file again and make sure it is the correct firmware for this product
I verified that the model is indeed R6300V2 (AC1750) - both on the admin interface and the sticker on the router.
Tried downloading and extracting again – same issue.
In the Firmware upgrade screen selected the Check button, which indicated that:
No new firmware version available.
Question: Do I believe this statement, or continue to try to find a way to update to what appears to be a newer version?
Replied here as it appears to be the same issue . . .

The firmware-update part is the same. Starting your own thread would
still make more sense. Did you read the explanation here (and follow
the links) for that question?
