Thank you very much for informing me that a new firmware is on its way
I already manually downloaded the 10.5.0.16 version, that did not sort out the problems.
I will wait for a further firmware, as downgrading it causes a reset and after that I need to reconnect a lot of devices! Already done twice and it's a mess....
At the moment I moved my Google Home to the Vodafone router directly, bypassing the Netgear Access Point and I connect my smartphone to the Vodafone WiFi router and this way I can also access the Arlo remote cams
I hate having two WiFi networks ON in my home, but hopefully your new firmware will solve these problems
Thanks again for the information
Kind regards
Gianfranco

Netgear Wax620 is not able to connect to Netgear webcams
I have to use a Vodafone router to access the recording libraries of the webcam and I cannot use Google Nest Home products: disappointing to avoid other less politically correct expressions!
