'128 was unstable when I installed it over '126 without erasing first. But, '128 was stable when I erased before installing it. So, I'm reluctant to install '130 over '128 without erasing first. The time-consuming pain with erasing first is that it requires manual re-entry of all configuration settings which is worse if, like me, you have many reserved addresses.
Why in the world NG can't make their updates install without erasing the configuration first is beyond me. I believe this is the reason they eliminated auto-updates.
I agree with the comments above about the quality of NG's R7000 FW. As far as it being pre-historic, it uses the pre-2007 rules for Daylight savings time.
I've got two R7000's and I'm living with them until I find a compelling replacement.

I agree the R7000 is now quite old and the firmware updates have been problematic for years.. I hate having to reset it to do updates as I have specific settings that I have to re-enter and all the DHCP reservations get lost, so I usually have to reboot every device before it works correctly. For a while now, the "attached devices" list is missing most of the "attached devices". Looksing at competing products, most seem to have many similar issues. Have a suggestion for a reasoable replacement?
