PLEASE HELP
Why does my router update then tell me it has FAILED? Then it reads 403 error; page not available. ROUTER MODEL: WNR2000v5 Thanks for any help you can give me; otherwise, Netgear will charge me ...
Hi dotelvis,
Thank you for the clarification. Since you have green internet LED it means that you should be able to go online. Do you have internet access? You said that the " router update then tell me it has FAILED?" Did you mean that you are in the process of updating the router and it went successful but somehow telling you it failed or you cannot access a website? Does it affect all your devices connected to the router? What is the current firmware version of your router?
Note: Please try to reset the router.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need further assistance.

- Select a firmware version and click Download.
- Unzip the file if needed.
- Enter routerlogin.net into a web browser.
A login page displays

The default user name is admin. The password is the one you specified the first time you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
- Select ADVANCED > Administration or Settings > Administration.
- Select Firmware Update or Router Update.
The label varies by router.
- Click Choose File or Browse, then locate and select the firmware file that ends in .img or .chk.
- Click the Upload button.

ISSUE RESOLVED! Thanks everyone for your comments!
DELL had me power off and power on my Router then the upgrade process worked perfect! I should always remember to
turn off/on as that usually works with everything! Hooray!

There's a picture there, showing its distinctive "orange-red glow".
> Where I live, we call this color Neon........but it is greenish!
There are some green lines in the neon emission spectrum, but they're
generally drowned out by the more numerous and intense reds and oranges.
So, whatever you might call "this color Neon", no one else can be
expected to know what you mean.In gas-discharge signage, most colors other that that distinctive
orange-red are produced by other gases (argon, mercury vapor) and
phosphor coatings on the glass; neon is not involved.For a good (educational) time, get a cheap diffraction grating, and
use it to look at some signs. The difference between an actual neon
spectrum and what you get from other-color signs is obvious and
striking. Better hurry, before LEDs drive the educational signs into
oblivion.
