I see no suggestion in the manual that you have to have a subscription to update the firmware. Indeed, it has instructions on how to do it manually.

Thank you. I will give it a try. I use Insight. It reads updates available but will not let me access. I also have a WAX601Y with the years support. It allowed me to up date it. I really have no need for support as this is for home use. I will try the links.
Thank you

The WAX610Y can be integrated with the Insight management, along with the WAX620, into the same location of course.
- Yessir. I have done that. Works great. I purchased the wax620 a year ago and the wax610y recently. Works great. I just lost the ability to up date the wax620 when the support expired. NetGear doesn’t seem to want to take money on weekends and send a key for me to renew. I can download the firmware to my Mac but cannot I stall it on the wax 620. I also tried logging in directly to see if I could do anything but that fails.
Thank you

I will cancel that $79.00 order. These work just fine for home and I was able to update the firmware. It was a little tricky as I had to get past the warning trying to access my browser. Once in It let me upload the new firmware I downloaded to the MacBook Pro.
This site is very helpful. I have learned a ton on here from building my home network. This WAX 620 works great as well as the WAX 610Y on the deck.I also have a Netgear switch connected to my AT&T RG. I had to learn about injectors when I bought the 610Y.
Fun messing with this stuff since retiring.
Thanks everyone.
