download the firmware update file manually from R8000P Firmware Version 1.4.2.84 | Answer | NETGEAR Support
extract the file, login into the router, go to the advanced tab, adminstration, then router update, click browse and browse to the file and install manually. I couldn't get the auto check and update to work, but manual install worked fine and confirmed new firmware version installed.
