R6300v2 Firmware Version V1.0.3.22_10.1.13SW Firmware update Question

Hardware VersionR6300v2
 
Firmware VersionV1.0.3.22_10.1.13SW
 
GUI Language VersionV1.0.3.22_2.1.33.8

 

When I go to http://www.netgear.com/support/product/R6300v2.aspx#Firmware Version 1.0.4.8  it shows that my firmware hasnt been updated since November of last year, so I try to do the "Check" for updates via the router itself, but it says there are no updates available, so I download the update manually and try to Upload it, only to get " THIS IS THE INCCORRECT FIRMARE!" or something to that effect... Am I missing something here?

Hi @Rigante,

 

Please try re-flashing the current firmware on the router (1.0.3.22) the reset the router. If that is successful, try flashing the latest version then do another reset.

Hard to say. You did unzip the firmware?

 

Which version did you retrieve. V1.0.3.22_10.1.13SW is pretty old. Did you try something between that and the most recent?

 

A clearer description of "or something to that effect" might help.

Yes I did Unzip it, and when doing a little google-fu I saw someone mention that 1.0.3.28 was a decent middle ground to try first, but that gave me the same error. Its acting as though that is not the correct firmware for the device.

It literally just said: This firmware file is incorrect! Please get the firmware file again and make sure it is the correct firmware for this product.

Is it definitely the R6300v2?

 

I ask because one user thought that the v2 applied to the firmware rather than the hardware. What does the label on the thing say?

Yep, r6300v2 on both the router and in the control panel of the router itself. The first table is actually copied right from the control panel.
