That's really not an acceptable response to my question. I searched lots of posts from other people asking similar questions over the last ten months and they all received the same response. Thankfully, my product was only a few weeks old and Amazon were happy to take it back and give me a refund. I'll buy another product from a company that keeps its firmware secure and avoid Netgear.
