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.
My router model is, according to the back label is a Nighthawk X4S AC2600 Modem Router Model D7800.
My reference to 'as above' related to the Heading of my reply which stated my model is a 'Nighthawk X4S AC2600 Modem Router Model D7800' Unfortunately that Heading was not displayed in my reply as I would have expected. The current version of my firmware as stated when I log into my Netgear account is V1.0.1.42. The fact that I received the following email from Netgear stating a natural progression of firmware update from .42 to .44 led me to enquire on this forum why I could not update to the latest version.

Following the instructions to update my firmware resulted in no firmware update found? Then downloading that update and then trying to install it from my hard drive also was not successful.
"You are in the wrong forum, that is why you can not see ther model as it is not a Nighthawk router but a D7800, a combo unit."
It says Nighthawk on the base of my router. Why is this not a Nighthawk router?
That aside, now Forum members can see what model of router I have and my current firmware version, can anyone now advise me if there is an update available?

Thank-you for your understanding response and the links you provided, it is much appreciated.
I've now downloaded and installed the firmware unpdate.
Kind regards
