Post firmware upgrade on R7900 and R7000
Last night checking all my routers, and desided to update the current firmware V1.0.3.8_10.0.37. R7900 was updated first, It ran though and rebooted and my brdige using R7000 failed. Tried normal ...
I have rolled back to earlier versions on both routers. I am seeign others having issues with 7800 with other hardware not working with it either. So Netgear needs to steep up testing to insure a good software is released. Security patches be damned.
Since my routers are not exposed driectly to the internet, I am little safer... but not by much, Since JavaScripts from outside sources runs inside the firewall.
Also next hope / gateway, is my firewall, so these routers do not appear in trace routes but are in the ARP multiple times, so a scan before hand on network is required before quickly finding one. Agian not the greatest security but a little help.
Lastly, I have internal montioring that can see scans - since it is "his" job to them in the first place - helps find rouge internal processing... and take action, including cuttign it off the internet to that machine. It is run in parrellel with firewall, so it will corupt the package request - blocking the device.
So I feel safe... but again it is not prefect. Updatign for security patch is always better, but only if it does not break something else.
Very intersting topology. with which FW version, both R7000 and R7900 work as expected?
you may submit a ticket to NTGR support team to get help to clary issues.
