RBR40 Firmware V1.12.0.20
I'm afraid to update my firmware to v1.12.0.20............ Has anyone done this? Are there any known issues? Does it appear stable?
- Aug 11, 2017Ah if it were only that simple. It will sit there for a week or more but eventually it will auto update. You can't stop it. If I were in your shoes I would return it. Several months ago after 2 months of this same crap, I was able to convince Amazon to take it back for a full refund even though it was a month out of the return time. I had the label printed but 1.11.0.20 had just come out. I went out of town for 2 days and when I came back my system was stable and running the way it was always supposed to. I waited a few more days and then cancelled the return. Big mistake. Should have listened to my instincts.

I don't think you can. It will Auto Update. Netgear's gift to all of us.

Actually it is not doing it automatically.. its waiting for me on the update page to trigger the install. I'm gonna hold off until I see more posts. Kinda sucks that people are nervous about an update for such an expensive product.
Im still with in 30 days, I may return it. For a plug and play device, it's taking up a lot of my time.
