    There's an issue on NG's side that doesn't report the new version. You can always manually download and update. Don't worry, your router supports it or else NG won't publish it

     

    That said, be aware that multiple users have reported wifi issues on firmware .58 and some have rolled back to .52

I do not want to brick my router.  Is there a bug in V1.0.2.52 that it no longer sees a newer firmware?

So I was able to update the firmware by downloading it and updating it from the Netgear interface.  The update went well.  I rebooted the Cable Modem and Rebooted the Router.  Then the problems began.  I was unable to connect any wireless device.  Android or IOS.  I went on each device and told it to forget the network and reconnecting.  It would never connect.  I rebooted my wireless phone and iPad and told it to forget the network and still no connection.  Every device I had would not connect to 2.4 or 5G  I checked all the settings, change the SSID Changed the password and hit apply but still dead in the water.  The hardwired devices worked.  I down graded the firmware to the .52 from the .58  Too many bugs in .58 !!!
