Re: Anyone here actually own one of these?

It looks like they decided they needed to document the analytics.

This probably is region specific, - in the US with V1.0.7.10_1.2.3 listed at the top of the UI, firmware update assistant was showing something about 1.0.7.12, but it looks like there has been another update. New features were shown as New Features and Enhancements:

Supports Dynamic QoS.

Supports Dynamic QoS database update

Bug Fixes:

Fixes for security issues.

Note: Firmware starting 1.0.7.12 will not include Arlo functionality

---

now seems to be referencing 1.0.8.34 for whatever reason - specifically it shows:

Current GUI Language Version: 1.0.7.10_2.1.38.1

New GUI Language Version: 1.0.8.34_2.1.38.1

Current Firmware Version 1.0.7.10

New Firmware Version 1.0.8.34_1.2.15

Release Notes:

1. [New Feature] Supports collection of router analytics data.

2. NOTE:It is strongly recommended that after the firmware is updated to this version, log back in to the router s web GUI and configure the settings for this feature.
