R7000P Firmware Update V1.3.2.134_10.1.66
Hi, When I check for firmware updates, I constantly get a notification there are no updates. I am on V1.3.2.120 which is at least one or two updates behind. The most current version list on the Netgear site is V1.3.2.134_10.1.66. I am not sure if I should try a manual update. I have had some issues over the past weeks were I have had to reboot as I lose internet even thought my Spectrum Modem is up. Does anyone know if it is OK to update from V1.3.2.120 to V1.3.2.134? Last time I tried to update to V1.3.2.126_10.1.66 I had several issues and had to go back to V1.3.2.120. Thanks in advance for your help.
You can skip versions and go directly to the latest.
I highly recommend the manual update process if you're doing it over a hardwired connection.
This is usually what we recommend. When we see corrupt firmware issues, it tends to be when people did it from the app, updated with the automatic process, or did it over wifi.

- I updated the file as you suggested. Manually and hardwired. I have rebooted everything to include my modem, the router, and my Netgear mesh Wi-Fi extender. I'm having problems with the Nighthawk app. It's not detecting hardly any of my devices. In the connected devices it show two r7000p when I only have one. One online and one offline. When I tried to switch from either the connected router to my Wi-Fi extender or vice versa, it keeps prompting me to log into the app and says I'm timed out. Do we need to uninstall and reinstall the Nighthawk app after firmware update?
You shouldn't need to but you can try it.
