Firmware upgrade instructions:
Note: Do not upgrade the firmware using a wireless connection. Please perform firmware upgrade with “wired” or Ethernet connection only.
- Write down all the settings which you changed from the default values, since you may need to reenter them manually.
- Using the Download Link below, download and extract the new firmware to a convenient place such as your desktop. The filename after extracting is R8000P-V1.2.1.6_1.1.86.chk
Download Link: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/R8000P/R8000P-V1.2.1.6_1.1.86.zip - Log in to the router using a web browser. The URL is http://www.routerlogin.net.
Note: If you require further assistance with router login, see How do I login to my NETGEAR home router? - Click ADVANCED > Administration > Router Update.
- Click Browse and find the file you just downloaded.
- Click Upload. Do NOT interrupt the update while the router performs this step.
Important Note:
- The update process is completed when the on-screen progress bar completes. If power LED light turns amber and is blinking, power cycle the router to complete the upgrade.
- If the update progress bar on the web interface does not display correctly during firmware update, you can still check the status using the Power LED.
The Power LED should be blinking (amber) during firmware update. After the firmware update is done and the system boots up, the LED changes to a steady amber color.
DO NOT power off or reboot the device during firmware upgrade, it may corrupt the firmware and cause the device not to work.
