R8000P firmware will not update
R8000P router. Firmware is at 1.4.1.50. There is an update available to 1.4.5, but nothing I do will update it. I have tried from the router app on my computer; i have tried by manually downloading ...
More data to consider: Each time I did one of the updates, no matter what method, it looked like it was going successfully -- I got the usual 'firmware is updating' window; 'router is rebooting, do not turn off ... etc.' The router reboots and everything comes back online, EXCEPT it still shows the old firmware version number, and says an update is available.
So here's a thought -- maybe it's the firmware version number that is displayed, and the update notification, that is the problem. Maybe the firmware actually updated but the version display and the update notification wasn't toggled properly.
Any comment, Netgear?
I tried updating one time (alternate method) with my link above and it went thru, no problems. It worked like a charm. Now there's DNS issues, but that's another story lol.
