R7800 Updated to 1.0.2.90, now wants to install V1.0.0.423
I checked on my router updates and an update was suggested: V1.0.2.84(~) to V1.0.2.90. Using the firmware assistant, it reported an MD5 Checksum error and failed to install. Per other discussions on ...
Thats GUI (Graphical User Interface) langage version update, not FW.
The messaging on this is terrible, if that's a separate subinstall. It says clearly "New firmware is found. Do you want to update the firmware?" At top right "Router firmware Version". At the least, it needs to say: "Your current firmware is up-to-date. Your language pack is needs to be updated. Do you want to update the language pack?" I know lazy developer (non)thinking... I am one.
The MD5 checksum error isn't exactly a trust-builder either.
And here's a MD5 verify error clicking Yes to update the GUI Language version. Come on.
Try a factory reset and walk thru the setup wizard with a wired PC and web browser.
It's not FW, is GUI Version, means a udpate to the routers web page.
Why would that make the slightest difference? It's got the latest build of the firmware already (I did have to download and install that via a hardwired PC, for the first time ever, for no good reason). Netgear needs to straighten out the posted files. Too much time wasted for a simple update already.
Absolutely having the same experience
