Well for short term, you may have to. If this is something NG may fix, if they do, will take a while.

 

You'll have to contact NG support about this.

      I would doubt it.  NG seems to be more focused on all the cool things people complaint about, like;

       

      back haul

      AP mode

      Disney/circle

      device list

      etc.

      You can try the update and see. I presume it may not. Did you contact NG support and ask about this? You should contact them and ask to see what they say.
