The NG site is correct. NETGEAR is usually slow in adding new firmware versions to its download site

Thanks for the quick response, micro.

I appreciate the caution re updatiing via wifi. I am aware of that, but it's worth repeating for anyone who reads this discussion. Use a freakin' cable.

I'll take a shot at the update in a bit. Busy doin stuff now. Can't break the connection just yet.

I'll follow up later.
