Why does Firmware vV2.0.0.74 Require Manual Update?

Is it Beta or is Manual a requirement for this update?

It doesn't. My system automatically updated itself two days ago. Not sure what the protocols are for 'when' the system updates. Maybe somebody else can provide insight into that. Seems like the newest version has been out there for a couple weeks and it took my system that long to do it on it's own. Somebody else might know why it takes so long. You can do it manually if you want it sooner. Just be sure to upgrade the SATELLITES first 'cause they have to be on the same firmware to communicate with the Router. Do the Router LAST!

The download was available for manual download for testing for a couple weeks then it was added to the server to be pushed automatically once it was approved.
