IPv6 is not enabled. The setting "Internet Connection Type" is "disabled"
Also for the early FW releases, there are two more recent than my current V4.6.9.11_2.3.5 on the page you linked, but I can't tell on that page what they've approved as solid for non-IT professionals like myself versus versions in a beta or early stage. Is that "signal for Approved New Firmware" from Netgear when the browser interface show that "New Firmware is Available"? I'm questioning because the FW the interface shows as current is 6 months old, and that makes me wonder whether the newer FW loads are not considered safely stable yet. I guess not?
If you read a bit more into the linked FW update post, you'll find a NOTE that mentions that NG has given control over FW updates to users thru the RBRs web ui. Users can stop getting FW updates via auto update push.
Also NG may or may not always use auto update for those who still have that feature enabled. Not all FW updates are auto pushed.
Any FW updates seen on NGs download pages or here in the forums are OFFICIAL RELEASE ONLY. No beta's are posted unless something special is made available and that's rare.
when Auto update is on, can we control when the router goes down for update, at least? Sometimes the admin still gets a choice of "now", or not.
Nope. Usually comes in around midight to 1am est if that happens.
