RS700 - new firmware version 1.0.7.96 released
Almost 9 months since the prior 1.0.7.86 firmware was released, Netgear issued 1.0.7.96 yesterday. However, all the release notes says is "enhanced stability" so no mention if it adds MLO, fixes the...
I'm having the same issue as Viperion.
Running V1.0.7.86. The router doesn't see the new firmware for almost 2 weeks, even after countless time of clicking "Check".
Manually uploading the firmware starts the process. After the restart, it still shows V1.0.7.86.
After a year of no firmware upgrades, no update on MLO support, now this.
How are you manually updating the router?
What browser are you using? Try MS Edge or Firefox?
Are you unpacking the .zip file to reveal the actual FW file to be sent to the routers web page using the web browser?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

Using Edge browser.
Obviously, I unzip the package and upload the chk file
It's on quantum fiber, connected to Q1000K.
My router got worse as Netgear support had me do a factory reset and once I did that it would not hold any settings, or upgrade still.
My router was RMA'd and they sent me a new one, the new one upgraded with the manual upgrade with no issues. working fine so far.
Viperion something similar happened to me around 6 months ago. I did a factory reset, and everything went downhill. Wifi stopped working, router interface didn't login. I did another reset (with proper old school, keep device unpowered, keep resetting the reset button style), devices stopped seeing the router altogether.
After 1 hour, and maybe 5 factory resets, it started working back again. Since then, I'm scared to reset it.
I also have FW .86 and the router will not update to .96 - either using the automatic option or the manual option. I was an early purchaser of this router - I wonder if there has been a HW change and early models have trouble with current FW?
As my router is out of warranty now, Netgear won't even take my call. The HW is fine, my router works. In my view, FW updates are not a warranty issue. Is Netgear just screwing those of us that supported them by buying an expensive router when it first came out? Seems like it.
