No NightHawk Firmware Update Option

Thanks for replying, I appreciate the help.

1)  What _is_ there?  On a D7000[v1], it's ADVANCED > Administration >
Firmware Update.  (And the page title is "Firmware Upgrade".)

> The following are in the drop down menu under ADMINISTRATION:

No Router Update is shown.  It isn't hidden in any of the other pages either, I checked.

2)   _Which_ "the mobile app"?  I'd stick with a web browser, and a
computer with a wired connection to the D7000v2.

> The "Netgear Nighthawk" mobile app downloaded as per the Netgear on-line instructions to update the router.  After the hardwired PC didn't work I tried the mobile app as directed.  There is no Router Update button there either.

3) That ".chk" file (actual name?) is the firmware image file.  It's not
an "application or executable file", and you're not supposed to run it.

> The file name is D7000v2-V1.0.0.66_1.02.chk   I know it is not an executable file, but the Nighthawk apparently doesn't recognize it, and in a different thread one answer stated that an additional executable file is required.  Apparently not.  I did not "run" the .chk file of course.  The Release Notes in the downloaded zip file state to download the user manual, which - as you stated - has errors.  Following those instructions - yet again - leads me to the same problem - no Router Update button/link, see above.
