Not to get into it with regards to updates but Windows updates are related to security and driver updates and the firmware or platform updates are very few and only on a very occasional basis. As for firmware updates on Android, router, modems and other hardware are also rather few and far apart. The Asus RT AC 5300 has just come out with its first firmware update and its been out for the better part of a year now so I am a bit perplexed as to the timing with respect to this new AVOV TVonline4 box which I was one of the first to order but haven't received as yet but a firmware update is already here before I get it ? Something is amiss with the timing and I'm not referring to the frequency.
