Thank you for you for being a loyal NETGEAR customer.
The WNR1000v2 is an EOL (end of life) product. Netgear 99% of the time does not release new/patched firmware for EOL products even if there are known security holes (vulnerabilities). Basically Netgear wants you do go buy a new router to eliminate the security vulnerability. In other words; do not hold your breath for patched firmware.
I've got the v1 version and have had it confirmed that due to it being 'EOL' there will be no new firmware. Seems a bit cheeky that a vulnerability built in to the device isn't seen as sufficient reason to offer a new firmware version if significant numbers of customers are asking for it.
Since it appears a new device is the only way to address the vulerability I'll be off to buy a product made by someone else, on principle. They'll probably prove just as bad at some point in the future, but I detest the attitude that results in a perfectly functional device ending up in the bin.
The update worked for me.
Thanks for the help. I'm unsubscribing from this forum.
