To get around this I went to do a firmware upgrade because an update was showing on the Netgear website.
Is this "Netgear website" the support pages for your device? Or was that a message in an app or interface?
A manual update is usually better than anything over wifi or any automated process.

Which ISP is this? You might also find guidance on how to set up with them around here. But you'll have more luck tracking down messages about the D7000 – the hardware version isn't usually that important as long as you get the correct firmware for your device – in the right section.

firmware for your device" without knowing which "hardware version" is
involved?> [...] in the right section.
Because the forum section is the most important detail about which to
worry? Yow.
