14 DAY TRIAL // NETGEAR has just made available for download its 1.0.3.6 firmware version compatible with R6250 smart wireless routers, which adds support for Time Machine, ReadSHARE Vault, and OpenVPN, and includes various fixes.
In addition to that, the present update sets up the AC1600 router so that it is in compliance with the new EN301 893 V1.7.1 and EN300 328 V1.8.1 rules and requirements.
As for fixed issues, firmware 1.0.3.6 resolves a specific IOT problem regarding some USB 3.0 storage devices, as well as the improper low speeds when transferring large files.
Moreover, certain IPv6 auto detection errors and the NTP bug that prevented NETGEAR’s device from getting system time update will also be resolved once this new version is applied.
To do so, first of all check your unit’s currently installed firmware build and make sure it isn’t either newer or matching this release. Also, establish a wired connection between it and the computer, as wireless technology tends to disconnect occasionally.
Another important aspect that you should take into account is that all settings that have been changed from the default values must be backed up, as you might need to re-enter them manually after performing this update.
If all is ok, save and unzip the downloadable archive, log into your router’s administration panel (username and password should be requested), go to Advanced > Administration > Firmware Upgrade, and click on the “Browse” button.
Now, navigate and select the newly-extracted “R6250-V1.0.3.6_10.1.3.chk” file, click “Upload,” and wait patiently while your router does its job.
That being said, download NETGEAR R6250 Router Firmware 1.0.3.6, carefully apply it on your smart device, and constantly check our website in order to stay “updated one minute ago.”
