RAX50-V1.0.15.128_hotfix firmware update does not install on NETGEAR AX5400 Router (RAX54S-100NAS)

[ikonuk]

I used the web interface of the router to upload the "RAX50-V1.0.15.128_2.0.89.chk" file. It uploads and attempts to install. It does not reboot. I had to manually reboot the router. It comes back with the original firmware version.

Is this up=date compatible with the model RAX54S-100NAS?

Thanks friends. That (correct firmware) worked. It was my carelessness!

It is. Make sure to download the correct version for your hardware revision (v1 or v2)

Check the sticker under the router for version #.

Firmware and model numbers usually have to be an exact match.

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