Hello George,
Updating the netgear router firmware is really important. if you don’t do so for a longer period. it may stop working and start causing several interruptions.
As per your statement, First of all, you should check the firmware first. If there is an update available for it. then only you should update the firmware. Here is the complete procedure for that.

Step 1: Check Your Current Firmware Version

Before updating, it’s important to know which firmware version your router is currently using.

1. Open a web browser on a device connected to your router.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar and press Enter.
3. Log in using your admin credentials (default username is admin, and the password might be password unless you’ve changed it).
4. Go to the Advanced or Administration section and locate the firmware version.

Step 2: Download the Latest Firmware

• Visit the official Netgear support website.
• Enter your router model number in the search bar (found on the router’s label).
• Navigate to the “Downloads” section and look for the latest firmware version.
• Download the firmware file to your computer.

Step 3: Update the Firmware

• Go back to the router’s web interface by logging in at http://www.routerlogin.net.
• Head to the Administration or Firmware Update section.
• Click on Manual Update (if available).
• Select Browse or Choose File and upload the firmware file you downloaded.
