1st off, I am a huge fan of Netgear products I currently have Nighthawk RAXE500 which I have 2 questions
1st I decided to check to see if there was any update for my router and it said there was then it asked me if I want to download it and I said yes but nothing happened afterwards so I tried to locate the download and could not find it so leads to my 1st question, where's the download, where did it put it I decided to check again to see if I can duplicate the process and it said there was no updates. So this is confusing
2nd Why didn't the router notify me in any way that there was an update available
I actually had to go to the website and download the update myself and then tell the router where it was at and everything went fine
So the question would be what happened to the 1st and 2nd problems here
I've never been a fan of the auto-update process. When we see issue with corrupt firmware, it was either done using the auto-update process or over wireless.
I'd probably be a bit happy it didn't work that time.

Experienced Netgear users, and the primary reason they are called experienced users; do two things, a) turn off automatic firmware updates, and b) manually install firmware updates using a real computer and web browser connected directly to the router via an Ethernet cable. Lessons learned from my own and bad experiences by others.
Sometimes NG doesn't put new FW releases up on there AU servers. May roll them out at a later date or depending on how well users experience new FW that gets posted on there manual download site. Nothing to be too worried about.
As others mention, it's preferred to manually update your self. Your in control of what gets loaded.
