Latest firmware release R7000 AC1900
Latest firmware released 15 Sep 2021 for the R7000 AC1900 - v.128 https://kb.netgear.com/000064024/R7000-Firmware-Version-1-0-11-128 I have the latest version Nighthawk App 2.11.6.0 installed...
I've updated my R7000 to v.128. Prior to doing so whilst still on v.126, I checked in the router browser GUI and pressed the check for updates box. It came back as no update available.
I then uploaded the firmware to v.128, successful, no dramas.
Of course all done via ethernet. I still don't trust updating over WiFi or via the Nighthawk App.
All appears to be working as it should.
Thanks, Portwey84, for the heads up. I am still on a quite old, but stable (for me) firmware release (V1.0.9.42_10.2.44) and still enjoying this router. Messages like yours make me consider jumping to the newest version, possibly safer than the (very) old ones. I keep on reading here!
