v1.02.14

But thinking to change on something better. Because, you can't control your network. With previous router, I can make access by the hours, watch what is going on in my network, this one is really SUX. I don't think will by again Netgear. Any ideas what to buy to really control my network?

    Bridge your C7000 modem and connect up a external wifi router that has the features that you need.

        I think you'll find that any of the combo devices you buy are going to have the firmware controlled by the ISP. Good luck with your next device!
