When I checked the website for the history of firmware I did not see this version?
R7000 has a firmware available different then the one I have. I'm not sure if I should download this version.
My conflict is that I do not see my current version anywhere in the history and I don't know if my "Update version" is operating correctly or not?
Also, the web site does not specify R7000-100NAS just R7000 is there a specific download or just part of the R7000 family?
Thanks!!
For the R7000, the most recent firmware is V1.0.11.136_10.2.120.. When you click on the link to download, the remainder of the number is appended to the file name (_10.2.120).
There are two options for model number, R7000 and R7000P. They are different and have different firmware.
From an experience standpoint, I would turn off the Auto Firmware Update feature. It is a nasty and unwelcome surprise when your router auto updates itself and the firmware has issues/problems and your router no longer works.
Always best to do some research on the firmware before updating. (Looking on this forum is a good place to start). The days of blind trust for Netgear firmware updates are long gone.
Manual firmware updates seem to have the least problems.
FURRYe38usually puts pinned notices at the top of the board for firmware updates.

I will keep an eye on this board going forward.
