Have you tried manually installing the next update? 

then seeing if it'll auto update?

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

While manually downloading the file and installing the firmware from your directory works, I am disturbed that Netgear allows this issue to be distributed without some clear communication on what they plan to do to fix the problem.  Their QA test must be very poor.

I agree this is very unprofessional.
