AC1600 - update firmware manually

For lowcountrypj 

 

I bought a second-hand AC1600 to use to set up some WI-FI LED lighting. I needed something that I could take with me to a shooting location.

 

In my house, I have an xFinity router that supports 2.4G, and the lighting setup works great.

 

But setting up with 2.4G on the AC1600 doesn't work. And it doesn't tell me why.

 

It looks like it's out of support from Netgear, but I was hoping to find a way to manually update the firmware to the final level before it was obsoleted?

 

It looks like that was 1.35; mine is 1.02.

 

I don't know if that will make Wi-Fi LED work, but it seems like it's worth trying - if I can figure out how to get it.

 

I downloaded/installed the Nighthawk app - it said the route was not supported.

 

Any ideas?
