Hello,i recently got an email from netgear and it says that i need to upgrade my router firmare, i looked on my netgear genie software to see if there is a firmware upgrade and it said that there isnt't but i then looked on the netgear website and it says that there is a new version, it's wnr2000v5. i have tried to install it to my router by downloading it using both internet explorer and google chrome & i them log in to my router to upload it but it refuses to upload. what am i doing wrong? i have even rebooted my router and that didn't help. any ideas or advice would be appreciated.
By default, the login is admin and password respectively, in all small letters.
If you're still unable to login, try other passwords that you may know but retain the username as admin.
Your last resort is to factory reset the router. Resetting will restore the settings of the router, so once you have reset the unit you will need to reconfigure the router.
I have WNR V4, the firmware version is V1.0.0.66. And what it.tells me is that WNR2000 v5 is not the right version when I try to upload it to my router.
This is the email that i got from netgear,

That is not the same thing as wnr2000v5.
Confusing, I know, but Netgear has made five different versions of the WNR2000. They all use different firmware.
