New R7000 firmware 1.0.11.116 failure to update
Just found the latest firmware updated here:
https://www.netgear.com/support/product/r7000.aspx#download
Unzipped the download, and tried to update the firmware *.chk file using the Upload button. It fails with this error message:
<quote>Failure! This firmware file is incorrect! Please get the firmware file again and make sure it is the correct firmware for this product.</quote>
Netgear must have updated the 1.0.11.116 download, because this week I tried again, and this time it installed successfully. Not sure what the issue is, but clearly Netgear updated the patch. Darn I wish I had kept the old download, could've checked sized and diffed it against the new one.

What version do you have now?
You do own the R7000 and not the R7000P?
Yep as in my OP: Model: R7000|AC1900 Smart WIFI Router
Version: V1.0.11.106_10.2.100
Thx.
