Scheduling Firmware Update on RBR50/RBS50

Hi Everyone,

I am comtemplating scheduling firmware updates on my router/satellite.  Couple of questions:

1) is this a good idea?  normally I like to supervise an update and unattended scares me a bit.

2) do I accomplish this via the Scheduler in >>>Advanced>>Security>Schedule by unblocking the time for it to occur ie. 0100-0400hrs?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Ed

    FW updates can't be scheduled.

      I was informed by Netgear that they typically push out new firmware updates between 0100-0400hrs.  If you block services via the Scheduler on certain days/times you should be limit when the updates to firmware will be installed.  

       

      Am I seeing it correctly?

        You can give it a try. Did they tell you how to configure this?
