You can hope.
"The latest" is a good place to start, but a quick skim through these
forums for a model like "R7000" can find abundant problem reports
related to "the latest firmware" for that model, including many
recommendations to use the third previous version, as being the latest
one which actually works.If you see problems after a firmware change, then some reversion may
be desirable.
Thanks so much for your complete answer and the link to the support page. That page has firmware downloads and has a support page for WNDR3700v1. I assume I should download the latest firmware update - right?
They had a page that listed WiFi routers, and it only listed v4 and v5.
Thanks for directing ting me to the v1 download.
