MR1100-100EUS latest firmware version

I've just had firmware version NTG9X50C_12.06.39.00 pushed to my MR1100-100EUS during my working day (disrupting my day).  A quick look on the Netgear support site for this product states that 12.06.11.00 is the current version.

 

Does anyone know where can I find release notes for 12.06.39.00?

 

Why was it pushed to my device causing it to install and reboot (at 2:11 PM local time) without me being warned or giving my consent?

 

Why does there seem to be no information about 12.06.39.00 on the Netgear site?

 

(Hopefully I will not see any degradation of service or new bugs.)

  • Yeah my partner just sent me photos of this randomly updating today in the UK.

     

    I'm out of the country at the moment so not sure about exact models and firmware versions, but I've never seen it force push an update before.

     

    Normally with this type of hardware you have to go and do it yourself.

     

    Makes me think there has been some massive security issue come up that they haven't disclosed yet and done a panic security deployment to mitigate it.
