Hi Guys

I’m a newbie on this forum and would like some help with my Netgear WPN824v3. I bought this as a refurbed unit. It works fine in the sense that I can access the router to set it up etc. But the range is very poor. " internal walls over less than 12 feet defeats it completely.

I have been told that I need to upgrade it with the latest firmware. The download from the Netgear site won’t upload to the router. I get an “error wrong filename” message.

The file I have downloaded has an .IMG extension. That’s an image file isn’t it? Does anyone know if it’s the correct file for the firmware? If not, is there anywhere else I can go to download the correct firmware? Or would some kind soul have a copy of the firmware that they could forward to me?

Anyway, thanks for listening
Jonny
