Was already using firmware V1.0.2.50, says V1.0.2.52 is available, downloaded V1.0.2.52 img, hardwired update, and your V1.0.2.52 is bugged and thinks that it’s V1.0.2.50 still...
Around in catch 22 circles the update procedure goes...
Who knows what version I’m even on now, because both V1.0.2.50 and V1.0.2.52 come back as V1.0.2.50?
This needs urgent attention, roll on V1.0.2.54 lol.

I don’t mean to sound facetious but maybe I expect more from a multi billion dollar top 500 IT company, joking aside I can see the firmware script is new, but you might wanna change the firmware identity within the .img, delete a 0 add a 2...simples...
Our security is in your hands...omg?
A few words spring to mind...’sandbox, alpha tested, Q & A’...
Exact same rediculous problem I'm having. Download the xxxx.52 zip file, upzip and see the xxxx.52.img file. Connect ethernet to N300, bring up GUI, go to update, browse to xxxx.52.img file, hit 'GO!!!!' - boom "Sorry Jack! The upgrade version is the same as what's currently running xxx.50. Jokes on you Pal!!"
I just signed up to let you know that this seems to be a generalized problem, I own more than one WN3000RPv3 (bought in different countries) and all of them are showing the issue.
The latest release notes https://kb.netgear.com/000053223/WN3000RPv3-Firmware-Version-1-0-2-52 (13 January 2018) indicate a version number bug, but the function is 1.0.2.52. The notes are wrong. The notes state that the version is shown as 1.0.2.54 when installed, whereas it is shown as 1.0.2.50.
I downgraded to 1.0.2.32 then installed the latest 1.0.2.52 from the release notes. It is shown as 1.0.2.50.
Let me startly politically incorrect. I believe that since netgear has not responded to any of our posts concerning the failure of their latest patch, that they are basically telling us to **bleep** off. Good job and great PR Netgear!! I'll never purchase another of your products again - and will black list you to anyone who asks my opinion of your crap.

Great...the endless update loop cycle has ended, and they managed to fix it in a still broken kind of way, pretty impressive programming, and many thanks for the official response above...top tier customer support..? Keeping us in the loop...wink lol.
