R7960P firmware not upgrading
I have attempted multiple times to upgrade my current firmware, V1.4.1.44_1.3.5, to V1.4.1.50_1.3.10 and it fails. I have tried letting the router update itself and also downloading upgrade zip file ...
I tool mine back to Costco today. I spent a bit more on the AX8 at Costco; thinking that worst case I can take this one back too and get a different manufacturers product; I honestly gave them one more chance becuase it was conveinent.... will see what happens.

I haven't recently. I figured if I have to set VPN and DHCP stuff back up thev I may as well do it with a new router and not bother with this one any more. If Costco doesn't take it back for some reason they don't take it back then I'll give it a go.
WookieClaws I'm really curious how the AX8 working out for you so far? Do you notice anything better or worse re: connection speeds and anything else compared to the 7960P? Any info, even if a short blurb would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
- Took a moment to compare the manuals and realized my entire qam concern seems moot for the rax45 because it's limited to 1GB internet/wan (and LAN) anyway. I wouldn't need wireless speeds faster than 1700 something for intranet data transfers, and apparently it can be a step higher if need be with ax mode disabled. Bottom line as I see it now...If you plan to get more than 1GB internet service, better get the rax75 from Costco with aggregation support, otherwise the rax45 seems right for Costcos' netgears. I'll be happy so long as Xfinity doesn't offer a free multi-gig update in a couple years and I don't need/desire a wifi6e router.
