Disappointing that it's been over 6 months since the last firmware update for a router that I spent north of $500. The coders at Netgear are probably instructed to only work on developing new routers. Also, I'm sure that there are lots of new security holes arising after 6 months. Leaving routers insecure is a complete negligence and speaks loads of this company.

Someone turned up here recently asking for help with a router that is around 10 years old. I was surprised to find that new firmware for it landed a month or so ago.

Sadly, "I'm sure that" isn't a lot to go on. What makes you think there are "lots of new security holes arising"?

If you have encountered security issues, then Netgear has a reporting system that lets you alert it to new nasties.
