R6900 Update Error
I have tried several times to update the router firmware using the Netgear app. However, the update keeps failing. Please assist.
Thanks! I was able to manually update the firmware. The issue was finally resolved by the internet provided. They finally found the issue. The outages were due to water seeping in to one of their nodes.

That's a good one. It should be eligible for a prize of some sort!
