FAQ

How do I update the Netgear Nighthawk RAX50?

See the step-by-step above. Log in to the router's admin page (usually at 192.168.1.1 or via the manufacturer's app), open the firmware or system update section, and apply the update. Most routers reboot for a minute or two.

How does Firmwarely know when there's a new version?

Every night we read the manufacturer's official release page for the Netgear Nighthawk RAX50 and record the version, date and changelog. If anything changed, subscribers watching this device get an email.

Is this an official Netgear page?

No. Firmwarely is independent. Device and brand names belong to their manufacturers; always download firmware from the official source.
