Questions:
1. Have Plusnet installed their own firmware? The version is V1.0.2.30_53.0.66B1. Latest on Netgear support is 1.0.2.54 yet when checking for upgrades am told none available.
2. Could I install 1.0.2.54 without causing myself grief?
3. Would it be worth the effort anyway?

I'm not familiar with the Router myself, but if the firmware is the correct firmware for the model, then I don't see a problem, with the usual precautions regarding firmware updates of course. But you may want to wait some further advice from someone using that model.

When you say there are later versions that the router does not appear to recognise, is that you tried to see if it will update to some of them and it just doesn't want to know?
In the absence of anything concrete coming up before tomorrow, one of the DCT could probably get one of Plusnet's experts (maybe Matt Turner) to pop on the thread.
If you edit your first post you can edit the title and perhaps add N150 WNR1000 V3 to it which might attract some users of it.
Ha, and whilst I was writing this I was doing a bit of a search and came up with a thread you posted in ages ago
See this post onwards. I haven't read it all but there maybe something there that helps including a link to Netgear forums.

When I tried the page just now, I had to go through using the Product Drilldown button
Select Product Category> Routers, Modems & Gateways - Select Product Family> Wireless Routers & Gateway Modem - Select Product> WNR1000v3
Putting in the model number in the top box didn't seem to help!
I also found http://support.netgear.com/product/WNR1000v3 which has some handy links - How do I upgrade my router firmware (automatically)? is the first one

Sorry if I did not make myself clear in the first post. If I log into router, select Router Upgrade and click on Check I get the message "No new firmware version available." A few years ago I had a DG834 which I had bought myself and successfully upgraded 2 or 3 times.
If I manually download the latest firmware and install it from disk do I risk screwing up?
PS Just looked at release notes for latest firmware - pertinent to my original question:-
WNR1000v3 Firmware Version 1.0.2.60
Versions Included:
Firmware release version: V1.0.2.60NA and V1.0.2.60WW
New Features and Enhancements:
Added support for Desktop Genie and Mobile Genie App.
Added HT20/HT40 coexistence option for 2.4GHz band.
Added scheduled Wi-Fi on/off feature.
Added IGMP/IPTV support.
Added support for Gateway IP on different subnet.
Added L2TP support.
Address several potential security issues, including the fix of WPS PIN security issue.
Fixed the memory leakage issue caused by accessing to the Web GUI.

If you download Firmware Version 1.0.2.60 (All regions except North America) and browse to it on your hard disk, you'll be able to install it just as rongtw has done. It looks as though it may sort one of your problems.

Have done so now. Slightly alarmed at first that some of the admin screen were completely blank afterwards and no Router Status popup. Internet connectivity seemed ok. However, after logout and re-login to router was confronted by a rather fine new interface All seems well will try Netgear Genie Airprint later when the excitement has cooled somewhat
Thanks to all for advice. If you have this router I recommend this upgrade.
