So having FW.updates1.netgear.com doesn't block normal internet traffic on your RBR?
It blocked internet access on mine and caused the front LED to turn on PINK and the status to report No Internet on the basic tab.
Sorry. I gave you no back story.
Because of the latest firmware updates continuing to disappoint me I reverted back the the earliest available version for my RBK852 and a RBS750. I'm in AP mode because I have a content filtering device from Sonicwall in front on the NG stuff. I blocked *.netgear.com to prevent the auto-update on all the IPs for all my HG stuff. After reading other threads I realized there are more and different URLs that my NG equipment is hunting for an update from. I pulled the logs from the Sonicwall, pivoted the data and shared the results in case someone else meeds to prevent updates.
Kinda an FYI...
