R6400 - firmware update?

Hi
R6400 is affected by the latest vulnerabilities affecting mergers routers https://kb.netgear.com/000061982/Security-Advisory-for-Multiple-Vulnerabilities-on-Some-Routers-Mobile-Routers-Modems-Gateways-and-Extenders

However there is no firmware update for this model to patch this vulnerability

Any idea why is that? Will it be released?

Thanks

Where are you looking? There is a new firmware hotfix.

If you visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

you can feed in your model number and find the documentation for your hardware.

It will also have any firmware and drivers for your device.

Look for the model number on the label on the device.

    Those early firmware releases will not show in the "app" interface or even in the browser graphical user interface.
    
    New firmware usually ends up on the support pages before it hits the update server.
    
    That's why it is a good idea to check them for your devices.
