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.

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.
