Nighthawk iphone app incorrectly said my firmware was up to date.

For a few mnoths my R7000 -100NAS stops working a few times a week. Rebooting and/or waiting and it comes back on after a few minutes. Early on I checked the Nighthawk app and it said my firmware was up to date. Today I went to the Netgear website and found that there is new firmware. Turns out there have been SIX updated versions. I figured out how to update the firmware "manually".  Seems to run faster but too early to tell if the drops have been eliminated.  

  • The update notification is not reliable. Not on the router itself and not in the app. I suggest regurarly and manually checking for new firmware.

    Firmware says up to date
    Never used to happen
