MS510TXM Firmware authenticity validation
Netgear does not digitally sign firmware updates nor are any hash values (such as SHA-256) provided for the firmware. This seems very irresponsible and highly unprofessional. It makes it essentially impossible for a customer to validate the authenticity of the firmware.
Why doesn't Netgear provide these basic protections for their customers?
