Spam email RE R7000 Firmware?
I received 5 emails about firmware vulnerability for the R7000. Is this spam? Email is below. From: "NETGEAR Security" <NETGEARSecurity@e.netgear.com> Date: June 21, 2017 at 9:21:10 AM PDT Subjec...

Hi all,
Thanks for your replies. I didn't click on the links, and instead logged in to my account and installed updates from there.
To Netgear, maybe change your procedure for letting ppl know it's time for an upgrade. 5 simultaneous emails that look a lot like SPAM isn't the best method.

I use a virtual box to view the links.
The best way would to sent a e-mail from Netgear it's self to all the owners of their routers about possible updates and let the people them selves go to netgear's website to get their firmware on their own.
Spam mail is not the way to go.
Just got this SOLUTION mail about this topic form netgear

As i cant reply, ill do it here.
I dont want to unsubscribe notifications.
Just next time send e-mails about new firmware when its released, and not 4 months afterwards.
Or at least add the latest firmware version in your mail, so i can see that im up 2 date.
And dont have to panic and search the internet for some secret firmware release
ty very much
Even better:
The NetGear Downloads site is unreachable. So I NEED to download this VITAL security update (that's months old) RIGHT NOW but I can't. That's COLD, Man...
