WNR2000v5 Firmware Version 1.0.0.34 doesn't install
WNR2000v5-V1.0.0.34.img downloaded from NetGear Support on 2015-09-22 failed to install. I am currently using v 1.0.0.28.
As an aside, checking for new firmware from the GUI, reports "No new firmware version available."
Thank you for your response.
As per RonO, Genie also reported "No new firmware version available," when I checked for new firmware. I'm currently using v. 1.0.0.28. I again downloaded the zipped firmware from support using a different browser and tried to install the .img file using the same browser (Microsoft Edge, which replaced IE in Win 10). I previously used FireFox. Still it would not update.
BUT -- resetting the router did the trick. My router is now the proud owner of v 1.0.0.34! :)
Thank you for your suggestions!

Hi DVE44,
Welcome to the community!
Did you try to use a different web browser? Also, try to re-download the firmware just to be sure that it was not corrupted.
If you can't still install, try to reset the router by using a paperclip to poke the reset button for 10 seconds.
Resetting will erase all the settings, therefore you will have to reconfigure the router.
Let us know what happens.
I have the same problem with ...34. Also when I try to download it with the Genie it only offers ver ...28
