Nighthawk(R) X4S R7800 MD5 Verify Error
Getting an MD5 Verify error when trying to install new firmware. I saw some old posts about this but nothing recent. Any advice appreciated.
Wooohooo! Mine worked correctly. And BTW I did NOT have to do any sort of reset, just went to the update and it worked fine from a Chrome session connected wirelessly.
Yeah its one of those things that used to be just nice to have but with the amount of devices you need to maintain and update, auto-updating features are becoming a necessity (not to mention how frequent exploits are being found). I do like that new firmware smell so doing it manually has its perks lol
I didn't see a GUI firmware img anywhere on the netgear support downloads, is that where you were finding it
I did not see the GUI language update on the download center either. I'd hope that Netgear is wise enough to cater to the luddite moving forward and this is just a short-lived glitch that will not require the workaround of a manual update indefinitely.
Considering everything in my home from my mouse traps to my car can automatically update without issue, I'd have to imagine my router will have the same capability. Heaven forbid a 0-day exploit comes out, and our hardware gets knocked out because the automatic updates fail.
Hopefully that GUI update gets baked in to the next firmware release and the auto-update functionality is restored!
