WNR2000v5-V1.0.0.34.img downloaded from NetGear Support on 2015-09-22 failed to install. I am currently using v 1.0.0.28.
As an aside, checking for new firmware from the GUI, reports "No new firmware version available."
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thank you for your response.
As per RonO, Genie also reported "No new firmware version available," when I checked for new firmware. I'm currently using v. 1.0.0.28. I again downloaded the zipped firmware from support using a different browser and tried to install the .img file using the same browser (Microsoft Edge, which replaced IE in Win 10). I previously used FireFox. Still it would not update.
BUT -- resetting the router did the trick. My router is now the proud owner of v 1.0.0.34! 🙂
Thank you for your suggestions!

Re: WNR2000v5 Firmware Version 1.0.0.34 doesn't install
Hi @DVE44,
Welcome to the community!
Did you try to use a different web browser? Also, try to re-download the firmware just to be sure that it was not corrupted.
If you can't still install, try to reset the router by using a paperclip to poke the reset button for 10 seconds.
Resetting will erase all the settings, therefore you will have to reconfigure the router.
Let us know what happens.

Re: WNR2000v5 Firmware Version 1.0.0.34 doesn't install
As DVE44 did, I manually downloaded, unzipped, and applied the ING file and it thought about it for a while and then failed with the same message DVE44 got. I am not comfortable resetting the router, but if the Genie is not able to fetch 34 soon I will have to try it. Do you have an idea of when that fix might be done?

Re: WNR2000v5 Firmware Version 1.0.0.34 doesn't install
Hi RonO,
I didn't reset my router by sticking an open paper clip in a reset hole, but just powered down the router. There's a black power button on the back of the router, below the power cable. Press it to turn off the power, wait 10-15 seconds, then press it again. Wait for the three LEDs on the front to turn green and try the install again.
I used to power down my router every day, but from a master switch which controlled power to all of my computer gizmos (a desktop, a printer, audio system, etc.) without a problem.
Good luck,
DVE44

No errors, no problems on my final try. I used the IMG file that came with the zip downloaded more than a week ago.

The auto firmware update on Genie should now be working.
Thank you for reporting and your continued support.
