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 ...
Well today my replacement R7960P from July 5th 2020, so a mere 3 1/2 months old, DIED. Supsect it was a refurb that died again. So now I have to pay to ship it back and they will replace it again, but this is getting old. Good thing I am kept my old router so I have something to work with.
Anyone else get a replacement that died? Not sure they make them anymore so guessing it will be another refurb.
Pure junk. Had one smell and burn. NetGear support was awful. I took it back to Costco. Got another that failed after 3 months and would not upgrade firmware. I took it back. Costco’s comment was “we have had a lot of these returned!” Bought instead an Orbi. Works easily and fast. Thus far has not failed. Do not combine 2.5 and 5.0 MHz to one auto band. Do not use their security.
