Because 99% of the time FW will not fix router problems initially and having some experience in testing and helping people, the real problems need to be identified first before trying to apply FW updates. In most cases FW updates are minor feature additions or fixes for behind the scene operations of the router that in most part DON'T impact daily operation or will fix any user problems on the router. It may in some case make the problem worse and make it hard on those of us who are trying to help others, find the problem. Then we waste time and effort in some cases.
Sorry that if you feel that my posting
"IF IT WORKS, DON'T FIX IT!" bothers you, however were trying to help others find the real problems with there routers and or else where since routers are always the first point that everyone looks at as the culprit and in most cases,
is not. Problems lie else where. Were here to help identify where the problem is and to see if it can be fixed with out FW updates. After all troubleshooting as been exhausted, then by all means, FW updates is the next best thing. However it's still not guaranteed to fix the problem. I'm not here to tell you that you can and can't do to the router. These are your devices, you can do what you please to them. Just here to try and help everyone as much as possible fix the problems at hand and maybe make suggestions so that they have a better experience with there devices and the router for those who ask.
If by me doing this really annoys you then please feel free to skip over reading my posts or feel free to move to a different forum.
Have a great day.
Why do you post this every time someone says they're going to upgrade? It's annoying
