Find firmware version from admin local site?
Hello, is there a way to find the firmware version from admin local site? It keeps wanting me to do Insight which I don't won't to do. Where do I find this by the admin page by the router IP address?
Thanks

So I installed Smart Control Center and that did it. Issue is when I open it will see the switch only sometimes which makes no sense to me. Also our current firmware is 6.0.4.2 but on the netgear download page it says 6.0.1.30 is the latest. How can our firmware be higher number than what's offered to be downloaded?

What's that?

Not sure what that means, but the "Home" page at http://routerlogin.com/index.htm has a bold Router Firmware Version tag at the top right.

Again, I have no idea what that means.
I seem to be a bit slow today.
Sorry not to clarify. By local admin connection I mean by internal IP address like 192.168.1.1. From there it doesn't show anything about the firmware. I can see it in Smart Control Center, but 1/2 the time when I try to connect it won't find the router. By internal IP address I can do it everytime, it just doesn't list it there unless it's under Software Version?

It is there when I go to that page:
It is one of the most obvious things there. Where are you looking?
There are other ways, but that is the easiest.
