Router firmware update
How do I update the firmware? Mine is currently at 1.0.9.88_10.2.88 while the netgear site shows the lastest version is
1.0.11.116. I’m clearly a few versions behind. Using the app and checking for updates comes back with ‘no updates currently available’.
Thx
John

you can do it through the browser on your wireless device.
Its not supposed to be risky because its supposed to be hosted on the router.
But usually when we see issues with corrupt firmware its when done through the app or wireless.

here's the guide for a manual firmware update.
I'd recommend doing it over a hardwired connection.

- Thx. I just have to find my old laptop as I’ve only been using my iPad and iPhone.
