Re: Actiontec Firmware {4.0.16.1.56.0.10.7} Bug - Static IPs

That depends on your definition of "hide".

It appears that VZ has a way to push unwanted updates even with the "filenail" port blocked. Where is full disclosure about what is being pushed? By comparison, with Microsoft Update, I can chose auto-update, update-notification, or no update. MS provides links to a full description of what has been changed. Where is that with VZ?

Why should I allow VZ to push buggy updates to my router?

If your router is less than a year old, or you have video, it's still their router. They should be able to update the firmware. Now, for over a year and not video, then I agree that they should not make any changes to the router.

So if I had internet only for more than a year, the router became mine, but when I added video after the first year it became theirs again? WTF????

Video does not work without the Actiontec router. Therefore, Verizon HAS to be responsible for the router for as long as a customer maintains video service. I am sure they must realize this.
