My R9000 is on 1.05.42 and won't find an update but I found here 1.06.46. I have downloaded it. Should I install it? Router still works great except for an occasional unexpected reboot. 1x or 2x a week. Thanks!

Wow, good find, had not seen this update.
Up to you to load it. Only seems to address security issues. Would be no new features added or enhanced.
Manually load it and then factory reset and setup from scratch and see if these reboots top?

You seem very knowledgeable. My r9000 hasn't update in 3 years but I notice there is a newer firmware, 1.06.46. Is it safe to install. I am still on 1.05.42.

Up to you. Can take the stance, "if it works, don't fix it."
