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 have the same problems with my R7960P. My current firmware is V1.4.1.50_1.3.10. There are three newer versions. The newest version is 1.4.1.68. I have been trying for over a month to update the firmware and cannot get it to take. All it does is reboot.

How?
Manual update? Started by an app? Started by the router?
I have all three ways you mentioned several times over the last month or two and all my router does if reboot. I have tried using the app on my Samsung Galaxy S20+, I tried from my laptop via WiFi and ethernet, I have tried using my PC connected via ethernet directly to the R960P router. I have tried the app, manual, and by the router. I cannot get it to take. My show the unloading a spinning clock(?). It gets about half way and reboots. After it reboots it still shows the old firmware.
My router currently has firmware v 1.4.1.50. There is currently versions 1.4.1.64, 66 and 68 available. I have tried them all.- Mine didn’t update until I put the firmware file on the desktop and used the router GUI to select it and upgrade it.
