R7960P firmware not upgrading

Tried applying R7960P-V1.4.1.50_1.3.10 once again.  No joy.

This issue has been active now for at least four, maybe five weeks.   It appears to me that whatever the issue is, the Netgear engineers cannot, or will not provide a fix.  Your best hope is just to wait for the next update, which *** "might" *** work, and apply as designed.  If the next one fails, I'm going to reset my router (which should install the original firmware), start over, and see if the new version applies.  The problem may not be with V1.4.1.50_1.3.10, but the previous version (in my case, V1.4.1.44_1.3.5).  The prior version may be have a bug which prevents new updates from applying.

Again, as I have posted before, if Netgear has a widespread problem with one of their updates (i.e. "widespread"; just google  V1.4.1.50_1.3.10 and see how many hits you find), they should recall it, or at least, post some sort of notice on their web site indicating "Hey, we know we have this problem, we're working on a fix, probably in 10 days, just remain on your current router firmware version for now.", or words to that effect.   "Crickets" for a response is pretty damning  PR for a technology company.

still not working. now several updates later. 

Model: Nighthawk R7960P  

To Netgear:

Do you know how many routers a normal user has to buy due to the normal changes of technologies and other matters?

Well, myself has already bought like 10 routers so far, this is ok but...

...after having this issue (not upgrading to the latest Firmware) for almost 2 to 3 years then I am going to use my free-will to try some other router company that dont make it that hard on me to have my piece of hardware up-to-date like Netgear is doing with my hardware.

Netgear, please invest a bit of money on solving this type of everyday problems so you can keep your pool of buyers happy and not pissed off as I am.
