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 ...
To summarize, if you are on 1.44, now is the time to return your device to Costco and pick something else during their Network sale that is going on right now.
Something about the 1.44 made it no longer possible to do firmware upgrades. Mine was replaced with a 1.44 version that didn't have that issue and it made the leap to 1.50 and now 1.62.
Take action now while Costco is giving you a variety of choices.
Just to be clear, when I was on 1.50, I also had problems getting the upgrade to take place. I am no longer sure what I was on before 1.50, but I know I upgraded once between when I bought it in April 2020 and now.
