Netgear Nightawk XR700 Plex Server Update required

[gfhartzell]

My Netgear Nightawk XR700 requires an update to Plex Server version 1.16.1 or newer. Currently Stuck on Version 1.14.1.5488. When will there be an update?

Actually there was an update today, seems to contain a Plex update too:

I'll ask the Netgear team to see when this is planned and get back to you.

Thank you.  It will be good to get live TV and DVR back

Any update on when the xr700 might get an update? The X10 has been released

Re: NETGEAR R9000 NIGHTHAWK X10 Plex Version Update

Hi everyone,

We received confirmation that Plex version 1.16.3 was released on the R9000 this morning.

You should then be able to update your version from the device's GUI.

Thank you.

Just checking in

Well its been 2 months now without being able to use Live TV without the Required  update to the xr700 plex server and no response from netgear.

This is very frustrating.  Is it actually part of a firmware update? 

Thank you

I've asked my colleague who has asked Netgear to post here directly when they have an idea. I believe when you disable Plex then enable and apply it redownloads Plex so may be possible without a firmware update though I can't say 100%. Try this as well if you haven't already as possible its already been updated.

[gfhartzell]

Unfortunately I have tried that several times and it does not update.

I suspect that it may require a firmware update see below from the 1.0.1.8 update:
