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 ...
I'm in the same boat as you. It'd ridiculous having to do a factory reset. Therefore, I'm going to assume that running the current 1.0.2.90 firmware is what's important, and that the v1.0.0.423 GUI update is only relevant for communication between the browser and the the v1.0.2.90 firmware. I don't know about you, but I only rarely need to access the router GUI, so I can wait. Obviously Netgear should fix it, but it seems much less important than our fixing the security vulnerabilities, which is the point of the 1.0.2.90 update.
If someone has a different view, please post! We're all in this togther.
I'm having the same issue. Seems to be a bad firmware update. Hopefully NG fixes this soon. Factory resetting this is a bad answer.
Hi all, thank you for reporting this. This is currently being worked on by the team. We will provide an update as soon as it is available.

Hello, 2 months passed, has this GUI issue solved?
I have a similar experience about 5 years ago, at that time, NETGEAR told me my ISP blocked the downloading (however, updating firmware was ok)
Yes.
