- Where can I find the release notes that describes exactly what's new, improved or fixed with this new release.
- Is there a place in the GUI to disable automatic (pushed) firmware updates. I run backups overnight and i would like some control as to when these firmware updates are applied.
- There's a new Security widget on the home page of the router, but clicking on it doesn't do anything.
- I get some unknown error messages and notices on the event log. What do they mean? (See Picture - I crossed out the MAC of my router)
- I read somewhere in the forum that the Router CAX80 reboots if it's unable to get a ISP (Cable) connection. Can this behavior be modified? What if I need to use the Router standalone without a Modem connection? I need LAN connectivity if my ISP service fails..

My CAX80 rebooted last night also on Spectrum but saw no discernible changes. I'm still on original FW. It would be nice if NG posted release notes so that we could see if anything was fixed. Haven't had any issues so far.

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to make you aware my router FW portion of CAX80 was updated overnight to version 2.1.1.4. My ISP is Cox San Diego.
I have not had a chance to look things over. However I was one of those who had an opportunity to get the beta version which was a minor version less this the one being pushed out. At the time the beta version had resolved a number of issues users listed here on the forums, including those I experienced, so I am sure this pushed out version will resolve a number of your problems.
Thanks.
I now have this new FW through an overnight update about 2 weeks ago. Crossing Fingers that it will be more reliable. It has been stable since Oct so no complaints thus far. Spectrum is my provider. Going to make backups regularly of the Config just to be sure.
