Your experience with Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
The other long thread on the new firmware is useless and has become a tech support thread. Please only post your experience after upgrading to the new firmware, good or bad. I'd like to see everyone'...

I would respectfully disagree with you.
I have witnessed and been part of MANY small and large manufacturers of network and non-network gear openly communicate the timeline and transparent info of “hotfixes”. We have all witnessed this over our life and even witnessed OEMs making public releases via the media as to hotfix timelines.
My comment was not to imply Netgear provide their internal future plans and product roadmaps, etc...But....when you break an existing product and its impacts are largely reported and the “break” impacts products beyond your own....ummmm....yeah.....you use your forum, email distribution list and/or other forms of communication to inform your impacted customers of timeline for resolution.
Failure to provide that communication and timeline only communicates one thing...”WE DON’T CARE”....
