Latest Firmware?

Latest Firmware?

Hello, I just received an e-mail from Netgear stating that my WNR2000v4 router needed a firmware update. When I attempted to get the latest update, I discovered I already had it installed. Looking at the date on the release notes, I probably installed it several months ago. So, this begs the question: why am I just now getting this e-mail notification? Is there a later version than V1.0.0.66? This is the latest version on the Netgear website. This is the version I'd installed months ago. Is there a later version that has not been uploaded to the web site yet?

 

Thanks,

Tim

Re: Latest Firmware?

Thanks, Elaine. That's the information I was looking for.

 

I don't understand why Netgear sent out the notice the other day if there was no new firemware release. The note, dated 6/21, explicitly stated that a new release was available:

 

"Important Security Update from NETGEAR:
New Firmware Is Available for Your Product


Our records indicate that you own the following product: WNR2000v4. NETGEAR is aware of one or more security vulnerabilities affecting your NETGEAR product. NETGEAR has released firmware fixes for one or more vulnerabilities affecting your WNR2000v4."

Welcome to the community, @tajkkj

 

We would like to inform all registered users to have their routers get the latest firmware version available.

Re: Latest Firmware?

Thank you Elaine. So is V1.0.0.66 the latest (now at least 5 months old), or is there a newer one that yesterday's Netgear e-mail to me seems to indicate?

There's no updated firmware than that.

That's the very latest firmware for that model version.
