RBR850 / RBS850 Firmware V4.6.8.2 (Router only)

Question

RBR850 automatically updated to 4.6.8.2 leaving the satellites at v4.6.7.13. After checking Netgear's support page, the official version is v4.6.7.13 for both router and satellite. I'm wondering if anyone else's router updated to v4.6.8.2. It's concerning firmware is pushed without notification and/or confirmation via Netgear's support page.&nbsp;

I discovered this FW version on my RBR850 and the two Sats at about 2am MDT right after the whole house came to a complete stand still. I've been on it for several hours, 5ish, and I'm not impressed. Once I get the install files, I'll install it properly. Sometimes that makes a big difference.

Will give it the rest of the day to settle and see what it's actually going to do.

My router is now inaccessible after it push firmware in the middle of the day. The router is operational but the interface is broken. I noticed the satellite went to 4.6.8 not sure if the router went to 4.6.8 since I can’t see it. I downgraded the satellite back to 4.6.7 I think the only way I will recover the router is to do factory reset. These automatic updates whenever they want is not acceptable

many times you'll see them rollout an update in stages. Could be just a router update.&nbsp;
Unsure since its not on the official manual update server yet.&nbsp;

Router and satellites updated automatically to 4.6.8.2. Pacific Northwest region in US. Anyone have a change log yet?
