R6220 DNLA missing
Does anyone "official" know what happened to the DNLA feature? My docs show it should be available, but I don't see it. If the fuction was removed due to security flaws, that's fine. Is there a model that still supports it? I was trying to remove the process from my PC and use the router as the media server when I discovered it wasn't in the menu.
Please - No complaints on this topic - just verified answers if anyone has it. No need to kick the NG Support or Programmers. What ever is going on is likely a directive out of their control.

NETGEAR is slowly removing DLNA and some other features to make space for Armor as they can cash on it. Better get a dedicated NAS
If you are in-the-know, that's fine. If this is just speculation, I'm not seeking that.
Thanks for the responce.

You have been given an accurate answer. That answer says things that Netgear may not confirm. They are true.
By all means read all of the release notes for the firmware for the R6220 . Eventually you will find the one that removes this feature.
You should know that this community is essentially a user-to-user venue with some input from a small band of Netgear techies.
Most of the answers come from fellow users who have no connection with Netgear. They just have a lot of collective experience and are familiar with the sort of problems that turn up here.
If you want "official" support then you should go through the right channels.
