WC7500 Firmware 6.5.5.18 not valid

Hello,

 

i tried to upload the new firmware 6.5.5.18 from 6.5.5.0. But it said firmware is not valid. the new firmware 6.5.5.18 is smaller than 6.5.5.0. i think the file from netgear homepage is corrupt.

.0 was some 425 MB, while the .18 is just 225 MB @RaghuHR ... but the problem seems to be somewhere else, as other WC7500 operators failed to install .18 (and "fixed" the problem by setting the time zone to GMT aparently).

-> WC7500 wireless controller will not load 6.5.5.18 ... takes about five seconds to locate.

 

But hey @RaghuHR ... something must be wrong!

Hi,

thx for your answer, but what you mean? You will check the firmware?

Hi @leleo73  How much is the size of the firmware after downloading ? It should be around 225MB.

We downloaded from https://www.netgear.com/support/product/WC7500#Firmware%20Version%206.5.5.18

Found md5 checksum is correct. Could you please double check on this?

 

Thanks,

Raghu
