Buffalo, NY | Actiontech Router---- Router Settings question...
Where in the router settings do we have the setting to control whether we allow automatic firmware updates or not?
Thanks!!! |

Verizon has the ability to push new firmware to your router.
The following link explains how to disable it.

| There was some debate as to if closing that port alone actually prevented the updates.
In addition to closing port 4567 here’s a screen shot I captured from DSLreports which are the steps I followed to prevent the updates I’m flashed my router shortly after 4.0.16.45.160 came out, I’m still at that version. My router is on 24/7 so it seemed to have worked. |

You're right, just closing port 4567 does not prevent updates. However, (cwmp (enable(0) does seem to keep the updates from occurring, at least so far. |

1 edit | I’m still at 4.0.16.45.160 and I made the edit once I seen that post go up. that was on/or May 2007 so I don't see any auto updates coming my way anytime soon. I wish I didn't cut the top of the post so we could give the member credit.
EDIT:
For some this might not be a good idea because they require the Xbox or wireless patch, I have neither. All I care about is when I do a port security scan there are no holes and I could run my VoIP adapter and port forward some other services |
