So I can confirm that firmware update are in fact super easy. Going up or down...

I loaded the latest 7.2.1 on my RB4011 - but it kept rebooting every ~4 hrs or so. I eventually reverted it back to 7.1.2 and now on 7.1.5 (so the problem is with the 7.2.x series).

MK support were pretty good, and actually want me to test a new firmware to see if it addresses the problem - but I havent done it.

I also just found https://github.com/herrbischoff/country-ip-blocks, so wrote a little tool to enable specific countries to connect to my network, and de-duplicate/merge the network addresses - so instead of loading 63,000 or so IPv4 cidr's it de-dupes down to about 48000. I'm about to enhance my tool to do the same for IPv6..

The router performs pretty well, (although it is a home network, so its not that busy I guess). My telnet and smtp probes have dropped to almost nothing... :)
