Firm Ware update for N300
I need to update firmware. I cannot do it now with netgear genie. I found that my ISP must perform the update. Just wanted to confirm before I contact them. Am I correct? Is there anything I nee...
SUCCESS....I got the firmware updated.
Thank you for your help and patience,
You have the wnr2000v5?
If so, the isp doesn't update it, you do.
you can get the firmware and the manual that goes over a manual update here:

How do I purchase support to help me upgrade firmware?
Thank you
Don't take this the wrong way but if you truly have a wnr2000v5, its more expensive to buy support than it is to buy a new one.
Its pretty easy to update the firmware.
you can read the guide here:
How do I manually update the firmware on my NETGEAR router? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
I get to step 8 in the instructions:
When I enter the router admin user name and password I get an error message that the server does not support the operation requested by your client. I have tried the default address 192.168.1.1 but that does not work either.
Any ideas how I get around that?
I appreciate your help.
