Firmware update. Please Help
My R7800 has firmware version 1.0.0.40. I'm running Windows 7 x64 SP1 on the machine doing the upgrade. Netgear Genie notified me there was a new version available. The notice said to "click here"...
Thank you for suggesting some solutions. I did eventually get the firmware to install. Although I followed the instructions not to open or change any windows in my browser, I discovered this was insufficient. What worked was closing both browsers I was using, reopening one with only the routerlogin page tab open and proceeding from there. I'm guessing the various open tabs were interfering somehow with the update process.
