Hi All,

I am having the same issue trying to update the firmware. The download did not work, a direct conect with the *.chk file connected to the USB port did not work (it showed the hour glass for about 30 seconds then failed) I have power cycled the router and tried the update with the *.chk file again and still no luck. I wish Netgear would please address this issue and the firmware upgrade message is annoying and I'm worried the router may eventually fail. Current firmware version is V1.4.1.50_1.3.10

 

Thanks for any help!!!
