R7000 not finding newest firmware update
Logged in to router and under administration router update have checked for new version and get the reply that it has the current version. However the current version is V1.0.9.88_10.2.88. On the support page of R7000 it is listed that the current version is 1.0.11.123 - Hot Fix. R7000 Firmware Version 1.0.11.123 - Hot Fix | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Apparently the check seems to not update anymore?
Is a manual update necessary or recommended? Anybody else having this situation?
Its failry common with that router.
You can manuall update.

I'd recommend doing it over a hardwired connection. If you do have issues, try a factory reset and new install process (not using a backup)

Auto update or manual update has not worked on my R7000 since 5 or 6 rev's back..
