Not just Netgear
Yes, Netgear are being naughty but what about all of these so-called "smart Home" devices? They too need updating from time to time.
What is worse, is the fact that a lot of them use a closed cloud provided by the manufacturer and, when the manufacturer decides to force an upgrade / move on / go bust / get taken over, then the, usually dumb, users are left with non-working systems and more land-fill.
We are sleep walking into a real problem for consumers and there must be stiff and enforceable legislation to stop this happening.
