Trying to go back to previous version of firmware
After upgrading to the latest firmware i am having major troubles with my router/modem and i want to return to the version before.
i have downloaded the firmware version i want and unzipped the file which saves it to my computer as an IMG just like the website says (pic1)
then when i start the upgrade i get and error which states it has the wrong file type.(pic 2)
Any suggestions please?
Thanks in advance
Are you sure you have a D7000 and NOT a D7000 V2? The V2 requires a .CHK file.
See https://www.netgear.com/support/product/D7000v2.aspx#Firmware%20Version%201.0.0.52 for firmware if you do have a V2 version of the D7000.

- Thank you. The box only states it’s a D7000 but after logging into the router it is in fact a v2
