Firmware update
I received an email today from Netgear informing me that a firmware update to firmware version: v1.0.1.44 was available for my router.
As the current version was v1.0.1.42 I followed the download ...
Yes, that model isn't available in the selection here - not because it's not a Nightawk, much more because it is a DSL router (-> https://community.netgear.com/t5/DSL-Modems-Routers/bd-p/home-dsl-modems-routers )
Firmware, documentation, .... always head to http://www.netgear.com/support/ and ener the model number, like D7800 ...
Current firmware is here: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/D7800.aspx#download - looks like your D7800 is up2date.
V1.0.1.44 is for many routers, and not for the R7800. There is one for the D7800 though, and v1.0.1.42 is the prior version. Sure you don't have a D7800?
If you do, might be better off post HERE in the proper forum.

What, exactly, did you downoad? What, exactly, did you try to send
to the router? What, exactly, is your router?

Not consistent.
