      I updated to the 4.6.7.5 (Router and 1 Satellite) with no issues.

      After update, unplugged both router and satellite for approximately 5 minutes.   Turned them back on and satellite took a little longer than I remember to connect, but connected and reported GOOD connection.

       

      DDNS registration (to mynetgear.com) was successful.   Saw successful DDNS registration in log and was able to ping it successfully.

       

      I also did a test send of my router log (manual send) and it was successful.   I have a noip.com mail account, and the connection was successful and router log was sent and received successfully.

       

      Still other testing to do, but two of the issues reported by others (DDNS and Log Mailing) are not being seen on my system.

        Thought I would try downgrading to v3.x to see if that resolved my email log and DDNS issues. It didn't but I did find that the current firmware has introduced more blocks to download to pre v4.x.

         

        Even when you enable the hidden Yes option in the manual download the router will then say “Firmware unavailable” and page redirects  after a few secionds to Online Update. Not sure how to get past that on current firmware, but I dropped back to v4.6.5.14 and was then able to downgrade to v3.2.16.6, even tried v3.2.10.10. You MUST be able to block the automatic firmware upgrade, or the router will almost instantly upgrade itself (yes, I forgot the first time I did this) to v4.6.5.14 NOT v4.6.7.5

         

        My issues remained but I was able to enable remote access before upgrading back to current v4.6.7.5

         

        So, I deleted the hostname via noip.com, used the same credentials in the router I have used all along and it then happily created the hostname on noip.com and registered it - very odd - so all is now good with DDNS

         

        Will now concentrate on the emailing log issue
