Netgear Nighthawk R8000P Firmware Update
Firmware not updating manually nor via router web check option. Nighthawk R8000P Current Firmware Version: 1.4.1.50 Update Firmware Version: 1.4.1.62 I have attempted to update the firmware via the Ro...
I also was unable to update router firmware with the Nighthawk App, it would go for about 2 minutes, then fail, saying to "Try Again" later, which never worked. But it succeeded when I used a browser (FireFox) to 192.168.1.1 and chased it down that way.
Hi
I am having the same issue discribed in this thread. My Nighthawk R8000P shows firmware: V1.4.1.50_1.3.10 and "A router firmware upgrade is available" in the GUI. As others discribe, the Firmware Update Assistant does return availability:
However, selecting 'Yes' returns 'Failure' for the GUI Language update and returns to the 'Internet Setup' screen.
I have also attempted the manual Router Update process by browsing to the downloaded R8000P-V1.4.1.68_1.3.28.chk file. The process appears to complete with reboot of router, but the Firmware version remains as V1.4.1.50_1.3.10 and "A router firmware upgrade is available" in the GUI. I have attempted this process in 3 browsers.
Is there any hope here, or are these units just defective?

Netgear finally gave me a return authorization. I’ll receive the new unit on Monday 1/25 and will update if it has the same issues or not.
