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.

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.

Browsers are getting increasingly picky. They hate http sites, but https is itself a problem with local things on your own network.
I get the impression that router makers and browser builders don't talk to each other.
Glad it worked.
