Re: RBR40 cannot upgrade to firmware V2.6.1.36

Same issue here, no means of upgrading beyond 2.5.1.22, tell me 2.6.2.104 is available but using app, Rui, manual update via Rui or TFTP don't work, router goes offline for about 30 mins every time with pulsing white lights and eventually back to 2.5.1.22, I even paid £54.99 for support but this was only when it looked like the router was bricked so have asked for a refund. Router still under hardware warranty so not sure how to proceed as not currently fit for purpose if it can't be updated.

Looks like the engineers did something.  I was able to sucessfully upgrade to 2.6.2.104 today.

No luck here, not showing on the app, tried the web interface and seems to have bricked it. Trying to use TFTP now. Not my first time with Netgear kit bricking with flaky firmware upgrades.
