DC112A Firmware problems

[Shane822]

I just bought a DC112A router second hand and it has the following firmware on it:

Current Firmware Version	1.0.0.24
New Firmware Version	1.0.0.32_1.0.60

So it seems like there is a new version to the 1.0.0.30 that you guys are having problems with above... However, I can't install this firmware as says "Firmware invalid" after the download...  Anyone able to help with this?

I have 3 DC112A's and all are on version 30 and all see version 32, but they report the same invalid error when trying to upgrade.

I can also confirm that trying to update from Current V1.0.0.30_1.0.60 to New Firmware Version 1.0.0.32_1.0.0.32_1.0.60 gives me the 'Firmware is invalid' message.
 
Device settings are as per factory, but using WAN port for internet.
 
The download centre at https://www.netgear.com/support/download/?cid=wmt_netgear_organic has this message 'Firmware/Software not available for this model.'

Any ideas?

Any help on firmware not installing?

Sadly for me, no help and no progress...

I also receive the firmware invalid message after the download. Currently having problems with VPN access and wanted to upgrade but it looks like Netgear have little interest in resolving this issue any time soon based on the age of this thread.

Success:  upgrade to New Firmware Version 1.0.0.32_1.0.60 has now completed successfully for  me!

Excellent! Did you gave to do anything different or did it just start working? Any idea what changes were made in this update?

[BobHx]

This time I was using firefox browser on a linux box (ubuntu 16.04 LTS) and it just happened to work.
Previously the update failed from Windows and ubuntu browsers.

I'm not familiar with the Zain DC112A device.

I used these defined procedures...
