Model: RE450  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version:

Hi,

 

I just bought an RE450 to extend by Netgear Orbi system.

 

It works really well, and I can now get WiFi in my workshop.

 

However, it allows WPA security, while my Orbi has much stronger security (WPA2 (AES).

 

I can't find a way to turn off WPA, and I'm concerned this RE450 is now a vector into my network.

 

I don't want to return it, but I'm not comfortable using it like this.

 

Is there a firmware update available?

 

Thanks

 

Darren.

@Solla-topee Thanks for the reply.

 

Is there a specific page I should monitor for firmware updates for the RE450?

 

Also, do you know when an update is likely? I have a current and on-going security concern right now of course.

 

Thanks

 

Darren.
