I don't actually want to use gmail for my logs, was simply using a second email account to validate sending logs via email doesn't work
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

My DDNS issue was resolved by deleting the hostname from noip before setting it up on the router, I have to do that anytime I rebuild the router. Emailing logs was resolved, weirdly, by using port 25 (which is supposedly blocked by my email provider)
What changes from default settings have you made with your setup, and what else are you testing?

Changes from default setting are:
AX off on 2.4Ghz band - keeping it on for the 5G band. No need to have AX on for 2.4GHz band - there are no 2.4GHz devices with AX capabilities that I am aware of.
CTS/RTS set to 2347 (I keep an eye on network statistics checking for collisions - have never encountered any with CTS/RTS set to 2347)
20/40 Co-existence is OFF. Please note that I am in fairly rural Montana - and have quite a bit of distance between neighbors so I have never encountered interference or channel congestion issues with neighbors. While I can see some neighbor's SSIDs, they are all pretty low strength so I am not bound by the constraints of not wanting to interfere with neighbors.
Band channels are set (1 for 2.4GHz, 48 on 5GHz) - I never let channels be auto selected.
I do use reserved addresses for my devices. But that's just a 'me being me' thing. If something is connecting/disconnecting, it's easier to tell at a glance what type of device it is by the IP address.
I have a mix of wifi and wired connected devices (4 wired, 35 wireless). Most of the wireless connected devices are cameras, smart plugs (9), wall switches, streaming devices (3), Google Home devices, and a mix of other home automation devices.
I also have router set to auto E-Mail router log daily at 6AM. That way I can see if there was anything connecting/disconnecting and needing to be looked at. I have a couple of Arlo cameras that have a tendency to do that if the battery is getting low. Also if I get an off schedule E-Mail log - I can tell that something weird is happening because the log will fill up and get mailed and cleared.
I do not use Armor or SPC.
Still wanting to test throughput, streaming quality, and overall stability.
