Netgear Nighthawk R8000P Firmware Update
Firmware not updating manually nor via router web check option. Nighthawk R8000P Current Firmware Version: 1.4.1.50 Update Firmware Version: 1.4.1.62 I have attempted to update the firmware via the Ro...
I also was unable to update router firmware with the Nighthawk App, it would go for about 2 minutes, then fail, saying to "Try Again" later, which never worked. But it succeeded when I used a browser (FireFox) to 192.168.1.1 and chased it down that way.
Yes, I restored factory defaults and set it up all over again. That is when I discovered it would not update the firmware.
So for those of us outside the 90 day warranty period (I'm +-120 days), is our only option to buy a new router? Has anyone outside the warranty period successfully gotten any help from Netgear?
Having the same firmware upgrade problem on my Nighthawk R8000P as others reporting. Trying to upgrade from 1.4.1.50 -> 1.4.1.66_1.3.26
Continues to show my current firmware version as V1.4.1.50_1.3.10
Any ideas on how to fix this? Not super excited about running on a firmware version with a know security vulnerability. I had the same problem one person reported where my router stopped working and all the admin passwords got reset, like it had been factory reset. At that point I couldn't do anything with it so I factory reset it manually and thats how I ended up here.
