Nice to see another report. Same problem here.
Router is R7960P with 1.4.1.44_1.3.5 firmware.
GUI Language Version did update on one attempt to V1.4.1.66_2.1.46.1, but the firmware version remains the same after four attempts from the router's admin page. No errors are shown or logged on the router. I've reset to factory defaults, powered off for a couple minutes, but no joy so far.
We have two of these. The one that was acting as our egress router is stuck in a boot loop of some kind which led me to the Dec 20 vulnerability reports and this update attempt.
