Did you ever find a solution? Im having the same problem. Try to follow manual and it says to upgrade via router. I connect and it tells me about the upgrade but when I submit, it comes back and says can't connect to Netgear website. I have downloaded the file unto my computers hard drive, but find no instructions on loading it into the router. Have Win 10 computer.

When that fails because of a deficient User Manual, try:
