Windows 10: Netgear Router N900wndr "Firmware is corrupt" W10 64 bit Professional)

Tedc · Aug 17, 2020

Has worked on, my Dell All in One, for quite some years. Then, recently, found that the Router was not fully coming up (power light flashing green).
The manual says that this means the firmware is corrupt - maybe since an update.
I am able to run my Dell on it's ethernet cable - after having moved the ethernet cable such that the cable runs from the Virgin Hub 3.0 modem straight to the Dell.(bypassing the Router)
Am, also, able to run the laptop on another ethernet cable still attached to the Router output.
It would be good to be able to get into the Netgear settings & force another firmware update. Also to be able to check all of the settings.
Perhaps because of total loss of wifi, etc., I cannot get into the Netgear setup by internet or wifi. (using either pc)- whether the PCs are plugged in as before or one is bypassing the Router as now.
I've just ordered a replacement Router, which should arrive in a week or so.
But it would be so nice to be able to re-do the firmware.
Any ideas?

:)

Netgear R7000, R6400, and R8000 routers vulnerable

NETGEAR is aware of the security issue #582384 that allows unauthenticated web pages to pass form input directly to the command-line interface. A remote attacker can potentially inject arbitrary commands which are then executed by the system.

NETGEAR has tested the following products and confirmed that they are vulnerable:

All products followed by an asterisk (*) have beta firmware fixes available—see below.

R6250*

R6400*

R6700*

R6900*

R7000*

R7100LG*

NETGEAR is working on a production firmware version that fixes this command injection vulnerability and will release it as quickly as possible.

While we are working on the production version of the firmware, we are providing a beta version of this firmware release. This beta firmware has not been fully tested and might not work for all users. NETGEAR is offering this beta firmware release as a temporary solution, but NETGEAR strongly recommends that all users download the production version of the firmware release as soon as it is available.

Beta firmware is currently available for the models listed below, and beta firmware versions for the remaining models are being worked on and will be released as soon as possible, some as early as Tuesday, December 13th.

To download the beta firmware, which fixes the command injection vulnerability, visit the firmware release page for your model and follow the instructions:

Lumia 800 Wifi & Netgear Router

From my experience, if you have to restart the router then it is probably the routers fault and vice versa. I've been having problems with my own Netgear routers disconnecting and having to restart to reconnect. Beta firmwares recently issued to me seems
to have solved the problem.

I suggest updating to the latest firmware available and see if that helps.
