The web site download page shows the current firmware version as 1.0.2.136. This morning I checked using the phone app, and it shows a version 1.2.0.16 available. Installed OK but want to verify th...

Although it’s still listed in the downloads page, the Nighthawk iOS app has stopped prompting me to install the 1.2.0.16 firmware (as I’m currently still on 1.0.2.136). The firmware update checker web UI has also stopped indicating 1.2.0.16 is available. Can anyone still on an older firmware verify if this is the case for them as well? Makes me wonder if this latest update has been pulled from the auto-update channels.
I'm also on 1.0.2.136 and not getting the prompt to upgrade anymore.
I still get prompted for the update. They haven't pulled this firmware and doesn't look like they will. Still waiting for the next one. Don't think i'll be sticking with netgear when my next upgrade comes around.
- I checked and I’m now being prompted to update again - seems like it was only temporarily unavailable.
I'm still in the same situation as you, Crtfdgk. Unable to make 1.2.0.16 play nicely in any way with wired LAN devices and wireless oddities that cause pages not to load. Best guess would be a misconfig of iptables or perhaps a bug in the version/package they're using, but that's an absolute shot in the dark. I check back weekly for a new version or even a response/acknowledgement from Netgear on the forums, not to mention the dead end of attemtping to raise the issue via support.
Still find it pretty appalling from what is meant to be a top end consumer product. Not having a go at any of the kind people that have offered troubleshooting advice, but factory resets are not going to solve this one for those of us experiencing issues. Hopefully Netgear come through with an update soon, but my opinion of Netgear has beyond regressed at this point.
