Update went smooth, no issues so far.
weird, I have auto update turned off. Not only did it pick up .31, some devices aren’t working. Then I noticed anywhere access has been turned on. I always leave that off.
Has the system updated to v.31 or is all on v.21?
Did you select Check Update button while the auto update is disbled on your system? I presume if you have it disabled, that the check may still see the newer version of FW, however should not auto update to it if it's disabled.
I always keep them disabled (unchecked). The auto update and remote access turned off. The base and both satellites were updated. I see the updated app on the iPhone and iPad have a suggestion to turn remote access turned on and my son might have enabled it thinking Netgear was making a good suggestion. I disabled both again and rebooted and all devices are working again.
Ok, ya if the son had enabled that again or taken the suggestion, probably go updated.
IF the system is working for now, I guess keep it as is. If problems appear later on, dowgrade if you feel the need to.
I think others should see if they were auto updated by accident or done by the system. Then see if remote access is enabled just to be safe.
