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 ...
I tried to update from 1.4.1.50 to 1.4.1.64 with no success. I like the router but now I will have to return it. Sad that the firmware update issues has been a long-standing problem and Netgear had done nothing to address the quality control issue. Need to search for a new router. Costco has C4000 onsale for $99 but I'm not sure if I want to go with TP-Link.
I just got the email for the new update this morning. I didn’t try updating yet.
How did you try updating? What was the problem?
Did you place the update file on the desktop and load from there?

I got and email about new firmware so I first updated using the iOS app. Then I did the auto update via the web browser. Then manual update. Then I follow your and other's instructions on this thread by power off the router for a few minutes and also placed the firmware on the desktop. I've not done the reset to factory and retry the update yet.
