[EAX-80] New official firmware is BETA ?!? (58)

[Flying Dutchman]

Hi,
I checked the download support page for the EAX-80 and noticed a new firmware version (finally):
1.0.0.58 - Hot Fix
This version has some security updates.
But when I download the file it seems to be a BETA version of the firmware (EAX80-V1.0.0.58_1.0.1_BETA.chk).

I find this strange to receive a BETA version from the official download page.

Same for the RAX200 router. The latest firmware on the Netgear support pages is shown as '1.0.2.92 Hot fix' but its a beta version. I'm gonna wait until the final 1.0.2.92 version is released before updating from 1.0.2.88.

The hot fix is just that it adds nothing to the firmware before it other then fixing security issues.

I know, but than it is NOT a BETA.

A BETA version is a test version, open for a selected group of users who voluntarily test it. If Netgear wants to have the hot fix used by all customers then don't call it BETA.

Well I agree but we are talking about Netgear here.
