The shortlist includes three routers from D-Link (the DIR-818LW, DIR-850L, and DIR-860L), two Netgear models (the DGN2200v4 and AC1900 R7000), four from TP-Link (the Archer C20, TL-WR840N, TL-WR849N, and WR841N), and nine from Zyxel with the following model numbers: EMG6726-B10A, PMG5617GA, VMG1312-B10D, VMG1312-T20B, VMG3925-B10A, VMG3925-B10C, VMG4825-B10A, VMG4927-B50A, and VMG8825-T50K.

Crap like this really makes me happy that I've gone with Ubiquity mainly for the ease of security updates.

Do modern higher end routers typically prompt to check for firmware updates? I don't recall any of my (admittedly not high end) early wifi routers having that kind of functionality.
 
Early routers never did. Newer ones do if you actually install the phone app. Least in my experience. And then flip a coin if its going to be better or worse than the last update 😕

Not part of that list, but I have the Bell HomeHub 3000 talking to the outside world... no idea when that is updated. I think they push updates, but accessing the admin page never tells me I need to update it.

I have an older ASUS router internal working as a switch and it prompts if I log into the admin page, but I have to log in to the admin page to see that. If I forget to do that regularly, it won't apply updates. Not applying makes sense of course, auto-update causing a loss of connection could be confusing, but it would be cool if it would sent a prompt to connected devices, or a main device to tell you there is something to update.
 
Thanks for sharing!

I run OPNSense but I also have Bell HomeHub 3000 in front of it... Wish I could pull out the SPF module and connect it directly... Bell better own the security update game.
