New Feature and Enhancements:

• Support for the Engage Controller
  The Engage Controller is a powerful, easily portable, and free software application that automatically detects the Pro Router PR460X, Pro AV switches and Pro AV wireless access points for easy firmware upgrades and centralized management on a local LAN, particularly those used in AV over IP (Audio-Video over Internet Protocol) environments. It simplifies the setup, configuration, and ongoing management of routers, switches and access points making it easier for network administrators to deploy and maintain large AV-over-IP networks in settings like broadcast studios, digital signage, live events, and other professional AV applications.

  Note: Insight management and Engage management are mutually exclusive. For example, you can manage the PR460X router by either Engage or Insight, but not by both at same time.

Known Issues:

• DHCP IP Reservation by Insight is ignored when device name is “---”. This indicates the device name is reported as missing by firmware.
  Workaround: Follow the instructions in kb.netgear.com/000062791/ and change “---” to an allowed device name.
