New update


Recommended Posts

have you cleared the browser data (cache) and then typed in the router ip address again? That happened to me once, but only ever happened once!

 

Let us know please how you got on!

Interface on my laptop has been saying

upgrade in progress

Your router is about to update.please do not switch off. It will reconnect shortly. For like an hour

 

Hi - did you try out Big Dogs suggestion? What has happened since? Please let us know and we'll advise you from there :)

No didn’t try Big Dogs suggestion. I looked on netgear support page and read that you were not supposed to update using the button in the top right hand corner of the interface as Fraser said above. Would have been great to get a message or warning on the interface before. Because I don’t look on netgear support page daily. Now I have to go through these steps to get it back going again hopefully. https://kb.netgear.com/22688/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-TFTP

*Note to everyone do not upgrade using the button in the top right hand corner of the interface

That should resolve the issue, couldn't get a notifcation on the router to not do that unfortunately. Fortunately it's fixed in the version you're upgrading to so won't be an issue again for future firmwares

HELP Trying to do the upgrade thru TFTP and the directions it saying is Connect a PC wired to router and set it to have a static IP address (example 192.168.1.10). how do I do that thru the router with no access?

You set the static IP address on your pc. The instructions to set a static IP address are show on step 3. https://kb.netgear.com/22688/How-to-upload-firmware-to-a-NETGEAR-router-using-TFTP
