via the support WebSite or the Router GUI? Last time, the GUI had the update as a delta vs. the firmware being posted...

Hoping Linksys isn't EOS'ing the V1's, as they're still on store shelves...

I connected my V1 and tried both and nothing. My 1200AC seems to be running really well with the latest firmware. I test many routers so I am swapping routers daily.

Any feedback on OVPN Performance ?

My V1 has been running well since like July of last year. Would it be nice if they'd update the firmware? Sure. But the V1 is a mature device and doesn't need anything more, IMO.

Shhhh! Don't let the manufacturer's know this - soon we'll be in 2030 and still running Wave2 AC with MU-MIMO just around the corner...

I won't lie and say I'll be HAPPY if they never release another firmware update for the V1. There's a a few things I'd like to see added still. However, none of those things appear in the new 1200/V2 firmware update, so it's not the end of the world either. The router is rock solid right now and if that's all I ever get out of it, that will be fine.

What I don't get is their posted dates. I check yesterday and there wasn't anything new, but today there is with a posted date of 6/30. Same thing when I posted the V2 update on the 22nd.

I think the website admins don't update on a daily basis. The firmwares are typically available in the router UI Firmware update section days before it shows up on the website.

Interestingly enough, the GUI told me this morning that no updates were available. Right after I downloaded it manually from the website. Something is wonky.

That is odd!

Nothing wonky. This is the expected behavior.

Following anything in 'auto' mode is a cause for frustration. And counting on the GUI to inform of updates is in the same field, in my experience.

It's not in "auto" mode. I don't ever run any router, NAS, or other device with automatic updates, not even Windows. I always pick and choose what I want to install and when.

I manually clicked the "Check for new firmware" button. It returned "no updates available" even though I had just downloaded it manually from the website. I tried it a couple of times before I finally just updated the firmware manually using the downloaded file.

Manually clicking the button is how to initiate 'auto update mode'.

There have been some people saying they were out in the wild, I believe there was a post here and in the linksys forum as well.
