I have tried to download the router's newest user manual several times over several days and each time Adobe reports that the file is corrupted. I want the new user manual because my manual tells me...
Miles49, I am able to successfully download the User Manual for the Nighthawk AC1900 Smart WiFi Router (Model R7000) from here. The document is dated January, 2019 (186 pages). Perhaps you can try the download using a different PC?
P.S.: It is unclear how the router's built-in firmware update process would destroy the device.

I was able to down load the user manual on another computer, actually a tablet.
I don't know definitively how the update function destroyed of the older R7000 router either. All I know is that after updating the router firmware it would not longer function. I couldn't even log into it. I contacted NetGear customer service and spent aboout four hours with them trying to recover the router to no avail. The IT person told me it was dead, not recoverable and, since it was out of warranty, I would have to buy a new one. He said that most likely the update was corrupted during download and a non-functioning router was the result. I did buy a new one and have been very reluctant to update the firmware.
