It's working now. It seems to have been down for a couple of days.
It's not a spam, it's legit. We are sending this out to inform our users about security updates.
I also got this e-mail warning of gloom and doom if I did not promptly update my router firmware. No version information, or original release dates, just dire consequences if I do not update right now! Just a little bit of detctive work reveals that I have the latest and greatest firmware, installed last month, and it has very little to do with security!
Has Netgear joined the ranks of FUD despensers?
I'am not sure what is going I looked at some of the links posted and found that I would not trust them enough to download anything little alone to give them any information they ask for.
They look like links to other web sites if Netgear do this why are doing this way?
At lease this is making people think their firmware and who you who want to get it from.
