But that link points to old firmware....? Or....?
I am now using R7000-V1.0.7.6_1.1.99.chk
It was suppossed to take care of a recent vulnerability. But is this another older one we talk about?
I read: Firmware fixes are currently available for the following affected devices. To download the firmware release that fixes the password recovery vulnerability, click the link for your model and visit the firmware release page for instructions:

I believe it is older, and likely not an issue with R7000-V1.0.7.6_1.1.99.chk. But I think Netgear needs to comment.
