Nighthawk AC1900 R7000 Firmware won't update by router, app or manually

When I log into my router it says my current firmware is v1.0.11.126, when I go to see if there are updates available the app and the router itself says there is nothing available, but on the Netgear website it says the latest firmware is v1.0.11.136. I even tried to do it manually through the router and did everything perfectly but it will not update.

  • Define "not update". What actually happens when you do it? What messages, if any, do you get?

      Manually it runs through the firmware update... reboots but then still has the same firware version. No message no nothing.

        It can help to reset the firmware before you install the new version.

         

        You could also try one of the intermediate versions before the latest.
