I see that backing up configuration before updating might be invaluable. Sadly I am learning.
Why have some firmware been eliminated?
When doing a firmware update, is it advisable to do a factory reset?
Should it be done prior to the update or after?
It would surely be preferable to not need a factory reset and just hope everything works, but I've seen quite a few posts where issures developed post update and very frequently the main suggestion is "do a factory reset". Better still might be the ability to download the firmware that was installed originally, especially if it seemed to work out of the box and the terribly short support/warranty period.
Multiple Netgear devices now owned. I have had Belkin, Cisco, and some others over the years. The worst product in networking was the Google Hub. Very limited configuration and dropouts. I just did not trust. One name stands above all others because every box I got would work initially and then like many here you are left floundering wasting days instead of getting work done.
