I took a look at the R7900 release notes and they state the security issues explicitly. Not sure why the R8000 are so ambiguous. The two routers are almost identical.
The confusion started with two subminor releases for the R8000 within a few days - most likely on the same security issue, probably not propelry fixed before - regardless of the
What's confusing me is that the version number is lower than my existing one. I am currently running 1.0.3.4 which is running stable. The latest version is 1.0.3.36? I though it was a mistake so I was afraid to replace it. This router out preforms any other router I have ever owned so I'm afraid to mess it up with a firmware update, especially if it's an older version. I tried the nighthawk x10 and it was so miserable that I returned it in 48 hours.
Oh, I see. Thanks!! I think my brain put a "." between the 3 and the 6 so I saw 1.0.3.3.6. I will proceed with the update. I can always revert back if I encounter any issues. Thanks for setting me straight!
...and the other MAJOR problem with this latest firmware release is that it completely brakes the Android version of the app...so as I came to find out last night, the mobile app doesn't even manage to LOG-IN to the router anymore...completely dead.
I left the app feedback on Google App page, but I have no idea who (if anyone) actually reads this.
Sooo...for me, it's time to roll-back the firmware upgrade and as you stated in your post: beware!!!
