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 ...

V1.4.1.50_1.3.10
The same here
The problem with my router was solved by upgrading the firmaware manually. Don't let the router upgrade itself automatically.

I tried many times over the last couple of months. "NOTHING" works 4 me. I tired from the folder I downloaded to, I tried from the desktop. I tried using my smartphone via the Nighthawk app, I tried using my laptop. I tried connecting via wireless and and ethernet. It will not upload.
Same issue. Nothing has upgraded my frimware for over a year.
Sadly, I came here looking for the same answer, I have the same problem. Router tells me that an upgrade is available; I try to do it automatically, it doesn't upgrade, I download the file from the Netgear site, unzip it, put the .chk file on my desktop (or in a different directory - doesn't matter), upload it, seems to upload, reboots, and no change was made.
I am stuck on V1.4.1.50_1.3.10, I tried to upgrade to the R7960P-V1.4.1.68_1.3.28.chk file
How can this issue be open for more than a year? Is Netgear abandoning its router lines?
