Netgear Data Collection
https://hothardware.com/news/netgear-adds-data-collection-to-r7000-router-firmware Any opt out? Mdoerator please find out. Thanks.
Hello everybody, here is our latest update regarding Router Analytics Data Collection.
ElaineM How long do I have to disable this option before it sends data, since it is opt-out? Am I supposed to disconnect my router from the internet in the middle of a firmware update just to be sure? Does it send it right away when it boots up? Can I see what data it is actually going to send, i.e. not just your KB article?
If I don't have time to turn it off safely after updating that's not even a legit opt-out IMO.

You can always down loand FW update files before hand. Then disconnect the router from the ISP service and update the router and go in and disable this feature before you re-connect the router to the ISP service.
