New - RAX35/38/40/42/43/45/54 Firmware Version 1.0.16.132 Released
Bug Fixes: 01/05/2023
Fixes the issue where device list cannot well display all clients detail information.
Security Fixes:
This firmware addresses security vulnerabilities. For more info...
Would also be curious to hear about what this 'Protection Engine' is, I see it too when signing into the router on my web browser. No info about what this is, other than a checkbox to enable or disable it. Considering it is enabled by default; probably best to keep it that way. Correlation with the Security Vulnerabilities that were patched I think. Note, this is the RAX40v2.
This showed up on a version of FW for the RAX50V1 a month or so ago. It appears that Netgear has added BitDefender to the firmware as part of a security update.
Enabling protection engine turns it on, disabling turns it off. That is basically the only control there is over it.
On the RAX50V1, I found that it used up quite a large hunk of memory with it enabled.
Noticed that first post of this this year, 1/2024, was original posted date by NG.
Happened to notice that for the 50 series, NG updated the RAX50v1 model on 7/2024, with out changing the FW version."Last Updated:07/11/2024"
All other RAX models have not been updated or changed and update date still reports 1/2024.
