Flashed all my R6300v2 routers to R6300v2-V1.0.4.50_10.0.93_hotfix.chk...ALL GOOD.

Flashed four of them two days ago...

All working fine for past two days...

Use these routers as local routers handing out different subnets than main network providing isolated Guest WiFi to untrusted Devices. I took advice of someone here a while back and also use MAC Address Filtering...A bit of a pain but one more layer of security for these routers that still do a great job providing local wifi on different subnets to untrusted devices.

P.S. I wish NETGEAR would tell you excactly WHAT was patched above and beyond just saying "SECURITY ISSUES"...
