Firmware won't update. Autoupdate is enabled. I have tried manual updates but after the update downloads, I'm still on Version 1.4.1.50 and have the message saying an update to 1.4.1.68_1.3.28 is available.
It isn't clear to me from your explanation how you went about the update. There is more to it than just downloading the firmware.
This is probably the most reliable, and safest, way do it.

Maybe that's what you did but, as I said, that isn't obvious to me.
Unfortunately, this router has caused update problems for other people.

In which case, using the above approach with the suggestion from FURRYe38 might be the solution.
