Seems a bit too early to tell if Fw is stable.

I haven't seen anyone post having major issues.

"If it works, don't fix it." Up to you though. You can always revert back.

You'll have to check the link to the security section to see what is addressed there.

Nice to see long duration on up time.

Looking for advice:

Have been on Firmware Version: V4.6.9.11_2.3.5 and have not had a reboot since installation.

System Uptime: 88 days 02:03:48

Only issue we've seen is occasional hardwired lockup on my wife's laptop/hub...but I think its the hub.

I see this latest firmware 4.6.14.3 seems to include many updates since our last update.

I have never reset/wiped the router set since original purchase, only layered firmware updates on top of next.

I have early RBK753 set from Costco, enjoyed over a year of trouble free service before going through a year of constant rebooting that lasted until 4.6.9.11_2.3.5...so with 90 days of uptime, I'm really cautious of moving to new firmware.

My questions:

How's this latest fw for rebooting? Is it stable, good uptime?

If I save off my cfg file and do reset, will I get all my custom names I've created for various devices (I assume its tied to MAC address).

What does narrowing the IP range to 100-200 do (other than limiting number of devices)

Are the security fixes addressing minor things or major vulnerabilities?

Trying to decide: Is it worth updating? If so, should I do a full wipe/reset then apply cfg file?

How do you find the uptime? I have been looking for that info.

  I have a strange issue. When I open my Router site, I get the info that the new update is there. When I go to the update site it tells me that there are no new updates. In the same time on the top of the site there is still the message that there is a new update. When I click on that blue message, it starts searching for the update and does not find any !?
  
  I can do the manual update but obviously something is wrong with the update concept of Netgear.

    Is the Auto Update feature enabled or disabled on your system?
    
    Can you post a screen capture of what your seeing?
    
    What browser are you using?
    
    Happens in a different browser?
    
    I would not give it too much attention as this is rumored to be a minor update and thus NG may not post it for AU.
