Sorry .. but "shouldn't" and "won't" doesn't cut it. And what's wrong with releasing minor fireware updates each week on an optional basis- like, i dunno, practically everyone else ? and it didnt affect the router - performance was down until it was rebooted. I'm not sure there are many network components that are updated from the "cloud" without the option of stopping it. You're lucky this is a primarily a gaming device and not a professional product.

"minor updates" .. which might kill access to the device (yes yes, i know it was still allowing internet access - which in my case was degraded by about 5% until the device was rebooted). Like others i'm concerned you have a backdoor into the routers. Why do "you" feel that you need to have this method of updates, when conventially they are pulled rather than pushed? I hope the measures you're taking to stop this happening again are changing these updates to pull rather than push .. or at least make it optional, otherwise this router is going back or into the bin.
