WNR2000V5 with version 1.0.0.12 firmware
I have a WNR2000V5 router that is unable to take any firmware upgrades. It is a 1.0.0.12 The Netgear website proclaims "1.0.0.18" as the initial release, so what do I have? Is this the reason w...
The replacement router arrived today. It was loaded with 1.0.0.34 firmware and happily took the update to 1.0.0.58.
My problem is solved, though I never found out how I ended up with pre-release version of the firmware
I guess it doesn't matter now.

What does "unable to take" mean? How are you trying to load the firmware? Manually?
If I use the assistant to "Check for new version from the internet", it endlessly cycles saying "Please wait a moment..." (page refreshes over and over).
If I try to upload a file from my PC, it says:
This firmware file is incorrect! Please get the firmware file again and make sure it is the correct firmware for this product.
I've tried several different versions of the file, including the "Initial Version" WNR2000v5-V1.0.0.18.img, all the way up to
the latest version WNR2000v5-V1.0.0.58.img. (Extracted from a zip file using WinZip, from the official NetGear website).
And yes, I'm positive of the model of my router. Both the label on the router and the header on the admin page have this
model number. The header on the admin page also says "Firmware Version V1.0.0.12".
