What Security Improvements with latest XR700 Firmware
Hello, I would like to know how much or more details on what Security improvements were added for Version 1.0.1.34. I tried to just upgrade the Firmware from Version V1.0.1.20 and it causes my Conten...
I have asked for a solution including will to test Beta Firmware so I can get the latest Security along with the Router features to all work. I have asked here, directly at Netgear Support and have not received any working solution response. As a matter of fact, this is the only place I received any kind of response. Things like this are what defines a Company's after the sale caring and service.

At this point I would either have to lose security by going back to the V1.0.1.20 so the Content Filter schedule works. If I keep the current 1.0.1.34 then I get some unknown security fixes but lose the function of the Content Filter schedule. Both are bad choices as I need both to be working.
New Features and Enhancements:
- Supports Plex media server version 1.19.5
- Supports additional ISPs from Asia in the ISP profile list on Internet Setup page
Bug Fixes:
- Fixes the SAMBA issue when the file size is greater than 2 GB.
Security Fixes:
- Fixes security vulnerability issues
I sent private messages to @Christian_R @DarrenM to see if they can get me some help on this.
I still haven't got any response offering help on this. I would be willing to test a new Beta to get this issue fixed.Right now I have had to go back to Firmware V1.0.1.20 which means Security will be an issue with both of my XR700 Routers.
I've passed this on directly to the XR700 lead at NG so will hopefully get a response soon.
I hope so..............
Thanks

But just like the previous update 1.0.1.34, the Content Filtering Schedule is still broken. Netgear broke this with the version 1.0.1.34 and even after I brought this up several times at different locations including here, it's still broken! It doesn't kick in at 21.00 like its suppose to and so it also doesn't turn back on at 7.00AM. Why??????? This is how I control Services access to my Son's Devices.

And then to get it to stop I have to click apply again as seen in the photo at 7AM. That defeats the whole purpose of having a schedule that works automatically by using your set time. This should be an easy fix. I don't know what they did to break this. Please get this fixed!
- I'd recommend you upgrade to the 3.0 beta and use the Traffic Controller feature instead, you can do the same thing as well as being a lot more specific.
Where do I find that? I would still like for them to fix this since it's suppose to be working on these paid for Devices.
