Nighthawk R7000 Updated to Firmware Version: V1.0.8.34

My Nighthawk R7000 AC1900 Dual Band WIFI just updated to Firmware Version: V1.0.8.34_1.2.15.  I used the process  Router Update, Check for new version from the Internet.

Where can I find the release notes for V1.0.8.34?

There seems to be a new Router Auto Firmware Update option.
What is the mechanism for the auto update?

Do I get a message giving me an option when the update will occur?

 

Thanks

        My Nest thermostat has been dropping every so often since the firmware upgrade.  Also, my iPhone disappears from the list of attached devices.  This firmware is buggy.  Netgear, please fix!

    Worry not, Neu318! I am 100% certain that thanks to collecting your MAC and IP address, Elaine and the engineering team will be able to tell you why your Nest keeps disconnecting! /s

      Jumping into this thread rather than start a new one as it relates to this flash.

       

      For the VERY FIRST time I've had a connection problem. Running this flash from almost when it came out. Never did anything but a reboot once right after the flash and never re-entered (or even altered) any settings.

       

      Well today I left the computer for a few hours, and my wife left her's too. I'm connected via CAT6 cable on a 1GB NIC. Wife is wireless AC.

       

      I returned with my display and PC 'sleeping' (quite normal and done many times before). Woke it up and this time the network connectoid icon on the Systray had that dreaded yellow ! icon on it? Huh? No Internet access. Wife then woke up her PC and same on her wireless connectoid.

       

      The modem and R7000 are on a UPS and that should have kept them on if we had a power loss (or surge). No PC connected to that UPS so I can't really easily see its log. My PC has one and it showed no drop, and our microwave and stove (which loses the clock with any power disturbance) had the right time.

       

      So I opened my Browser and went to 192.168.1.1... could NOT connect? Hmm... so I was forced to pull the power and try to reboot. It worked fine and we both got Internet back? Looked at the ISP supplied modem (which always had the Internet icon lit) and the log showed no drop?

       

      Something 'happened' on the R7000 is my best guess? Like I said, this is the first time (as far as I can remember over the years with this Router) that I've had this happen. Odd...

        Stable on V1.0.7.6_1.1.99 

         

        Am not going to update just so these analytics can be captured by Netgear... 

         

        I'd opt out of anyway, so there is absolutely no need for me to upgrade, reset and reconfigure.

         

        Thanks but no thanks
