R7000 Auto Update came down even though I have it disabled
I had no internet access yesterday morning so I restarted the router and checked the log and it shows that it did a firmware update [Initialized, firmware version: V1.0.8.34] Wednesday, Oct 31,2018 0...
Hi Pretzel1,
I have tried to disable the Auto firmware update of my R7000. After 24 hours it is still on the same firmware and did not auto update.
How do Idownload a firmware security update? I do not have a wired connection to the internet only by way of this router. at routerlogin.net I do not have a user name but I have a password. How important is this firmware update? What if I just forget about the whole complicated process?
If the router is working ok, then I would avoid updating FW.
If you want to update the FW, find a PC or a friend or neighbor with a wired LAN cable PC to use to update the FW on the router. DO not update over a wireless connection.
Factory reset the router after downloading the FW file, send the FW file using IE11 or FF browser, factrory reset the router then set up from scratch.
