R7000 not good

I like many have been using the r7000 for years and it's been great.  However, it stopped auto updates, and is stuck on the GMT International Date Line West.

 

If tried factory resets, starting over fresh, turning on and turning off but nothing seems to correct the date issue.  I am on update ending 134.  I do not want to update to 136 because I keep reading that that update either causes issues or doesn't change the date/time issue.

 

What is Netgear doing to correct this issue?

 

Again for years I've sung Netgears praises for this unit, but this is garbage. The last update was last August? The performance database update show the last one was 2020!

 

How can the date issue be corrected

    Auto updates of what?

     

    The R7000 is a now ancient (from 2014) router. Not quite EOL, but getting there.

    Got a link to any of those reports?

    Which database is that? Where can we find it?

    I haven't seen that many issues on the .136 firmware. Might be worth trying. 

    In terms of the performance database, are you referencing to the qos database? 

    What speeds do you pay for?
