Router Update

Got an email about a firware update, 1.0.2.136  And when I went to my router, it also said firmware update available.  When I clicked "check for upgrade", it connected to server, then replied "no update available"   Version listed on the router login page is 1.0.2.64_1.0.62. I am using Windows version 10. Do I have anything to update, or not

Re: Router Update

You can always update manually. Its the way I prefer to do it. I also make sure to only update over a hardwired connection. When we see corrupt firmware issues on here it tends to be when done over wifi or using the app.

I was wired- on the desktop, less than 3 feet from the router
