r8300 ANNOUNCING NEW FIRMWARE IN GUI BUT NOT ON DOWNLOAD PAGE
HA
The GUI on my routers main page says a firmware update is available. I get this screen if I check for updates:
I do not see this update on the Netgear page for the model!! Is this a HACK???
Found the page to download at this link. I learned to review security advisories and then search for the specific firmware revision.
R8300 Firmware Version 1.0.2.144 | Answer | NETGEAR Support
I needed to download it because each time I allow it to apply automatically my router locks up and hangs until I clear it again

Sometimes the firmwares get uploaded to the auto-update server before they do to the manual server.
And sometimes its swapped and the manual gets it first.
I have no idea how they choose which or why they do.
OK I think I have figured it out....I see a security advisory link that references the firmware revision.
so my next task is to find where I can download r8300 firmeare version 1.0.2.144.
Thanks for the assistance!
