R8000P - Firmware won't upgrade
As the title says, the firmware won't update. The other day I came home and found both the 5G networks had "lost" their names and gone back to the defaults (WTF?). As I was renaming them, I noticed there was a firmware update.
Current Firmware Version 1.4.1.50
New Firmware Version 1.4.1.68_1.3.28
I chose to update. No change in firmware. I went to the Netgear site and manually downloaded the update (R8000P-V1.4.1.68_1.3.28.chk). NOTHING. I tried using the app on my mobile phone - nothing.
I've tried updating the firmware now at least 5 times. NO luck. I am stuck on 1.4.1.50. The router still works, but I've always had issues with the "readyshare" drive becoming disconnected. How long can I get by without a firmware update? Any assistance is appreciated.
