R6400 firmware update
R6400 (10-28-16)
I realize it's getting old......
Been having issues with Ring Cameras; however they were working fine until the middle of August. 2 days ago, our son couldn't get his laptop to log onto our internet connection. Saw this.
I've downloaded R6400-V1.0.1.78_1.0.50
to my PC. Now what? There's a number of folders in R6400-V1.0.1.78_1.0.50.chk ;
Is there a file to click on to get it to install? Or what's the procedure to get the NetGear WiFi router to install it?
