I just cant wrap my head around the correct wiring for a wired connection when updating. So my ethernet cable from the modem to the router is permanent and I need a second ethernet cable that I connect from a second port on the router to the laptop? I go to the web Netgear site and check for updates..if one appears, I can download it to my laptop. With both ethernet cables connected, I click on the downloaded file to install firmware updates to the router. When complete, I can unplug that second ethernet cable from the router to the laptop. Have I got it?
Thank you so much..hopefully others that have my problem can benefit from our discussion too. I checked for updates and there were none so I turned off the automatic updates and will go on line and check every few months. If there is one listed, I assume if I click on it there will be an option of downloading..if not I will be wired to install while wired with this second ethernet cable..
