    Welcome to the community, Birdo

     

    You may update the firmware of the router manually. 

    See the article below. 

     

    How do I manually upgrade firmware to my NETGEAR router?

    Many thanks for your fast reply.

     

    Following the instructions that you have advised I get in the step #3 (Enter http://www.routerlogin.net) a long list of links to articles about the router maintenance, which I am afraid to follow as the sources are questionable. (I entered this link into my DELL desktop, hardwired to the router, with Win 10).

     

    Your instruction says instead that the next step #4 (Enter the router user name and password) should be just a place to enter the name and a pass which I do NOT get.

     

    WHY? May you explain.

      I have seen your other post and it seems it's already been resolved. 
      Can you confirm?
