R7800 Updated to 1.0.2.90, now wants to install V1.0.0.423
I checked on my router updates and an update was suggested: V1.0.2.84(~) to V1.0.2.90. Using the firmware assistant, it reported an MD5 Checksum error and failed to install. Per other discussions on the board, I downloaded manually from https://www.netgear.com/support/product/R7800.aspx#Firmware%20Version%201.0.2.90
and installed; that went fine.
After reboot and recheck again with the firmware assistant, it now wants to go from V1.0.0.422 to V1.0.0.423.
None of this should have happened.... what's up? My guess would be that Netgear (and now my router) is compromised!
Debating going back to 1.0.2.84.
If this is some separate download, why is it not in the very latest D/L? And why does it have overlapping version numbers?
