Release Date:
November 09, 2026.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixes the issue where IGMP report is not forwarded to mrouter port when IGMP report suppression is enabled. [CE-8090]
• Fixes the issue where startup config is not cleared when configuration clear is initiated from AVUI. [CE-7988]
• Fixes the issue where netsnamp service is continuously restarting. [CE-8227]
• Fixes some security vulnerabilities.

Known Issues:

• After a config clear, the original VLAN 1 profile lingers for up to 1 minute on first login. All configurations have been cleared; there is no functional impact.
• Kramer AV Single-VLAN profile cannot be modified when using VLAN 1:
  If a Kramer AV profile is created with a single VLAN and that VLAN is VLAN 1, the profile cannot be modified to another single-VLAN profile.
  Workaround: Use a VLAN ID other than VLAN 1 when creating a single-VLAN Kramer AV profile.

• If the encrypted password in the configuration file does not adhere to the NETGEAR password policy, when the configuration file is loaded on the firmware version 7.0.4.26 or later, you must create a new password during the initial login.
