It's working now. It seems to have been down for a couple of days.
Then why is there no update at all available!? Do you send these mails just to mail around or is there any sense in them? because I can't find the update.

And since Netgear does not log/track every users router firmware version, they choose to release a general reminder notification to all users.
Elaine can correct me if I am wrong here! :-)
