R7000 latest Firmware update
Hi all,just joined and am new to the forums. Have had my router a few years and have always updated the firmware after I recieived email from Netgear by going into the router settings on my d...
For some reason the auto-update is stuck on the .88 version.
You can manually update if you choose. If you do, I'd do it over a hardwired connection and not using the app or over wifi. Those are where we see the most issues with corrupt firmware.

With the R7000, firmware has been an issue for a while. Many times I tell people "if its working, leave it alone", because its had so many issues with firmware changes.
Thanks for the info piemans. My router is plugged into my modem and my desktop is connected to router by ethernet cable so I'm guessing that should qualify as doing it by hardwired connection. I'll try it later tonight after family members are done for the night in case anything goes wrong !!

V1.0.11.116 was released days ago, anybody tried? 110 was problematc. so far only 42 is stable.
I'm seeing V1.0.11.116 on there now too,wasn't up there last time I looked. Anyone know how long ago V1.0.9.88 was released ?
Although it's mentioned that it's a stable version with all the hacks etc you keep hearing about I'd rather have something more recent if it's older.
