Since I've flashed Tomato a few weeks ago I've forgotten that I have a router- it's working perfectly getting dust because i do not touch it at all :-)...
Parental control works perfectly, 0 drops, strong signal - save your time and do a similar thing!

Might it be time to unpin the announcement of "New: R7000 Firmware
Version 1.0.9.12"?:

One might reasonably think that any pinned topic with "new" in its
title, and which has been up for, say, six months, might be due for
retirement. Just a thought.

Do you intend to provide any more information than the
always-information-free firmware Release Notes?Hi antinode,
Thank you for that. I will unpin the said topic. The update I will provide is regarding the issue raised using the latest firmware. The release notes focused on the security issues that has been reported which NETGEAR wanted to address right away.- Regarding security, please also alert the developers that:
- There is a topic here claiming the VPN service uses an MD5-based cert. That is, honestly, attrocious if it's true.
- There is still no button in the admin console to generate a new VPN key (replace the old one). This is also super bad.
Please stop ignoring security issues. - With all due respect, we are way beyond security issues. Netgear broke our routers. How about we seriously address that issue first. I feel like we are just about to get the diversion answer to the last month and a half of useless firmware updates. Now, how about a serious answer....
