R7960P firmware not upgrading
I have attempted multiple times to upgrade my current firmware, V1.4.1.44_1.3.5, to V1.4.1.50_1.3.10 and it fails. I have tried letting the router update itself and also downloading upgrade zip file ...

Any actual error messages?

_Which_ "zip file"? "R7960P-V1.4.1.50_1.3.10.zip"? And then you did
what with it? Did you extract the firmware image file
("R7960P-V1.4.1.50_1.3.10.chk") from this "zip file"?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for
"Manually Upload Firmware to the Router".

And this has nothing to do with anything?
Having same problem. I've allowed the auto update to download and upgrade firmware, goes through the motion and reboots router, but no change in firmware. Then downloaded the file and manually tried to update with same results. The logs are not showing any errors nor are there any messages showing an error. Just continues to have "A router firmware upgrade is available." at top of router admin page.
