Ref. this TT Help article : http://help2.talktalk.co.uk/what-enhanced-remote-management
It mentions that :
This is called Enhanced Remote Management and provides the following benefits:
- Automatic updates to your router software to get the best speed and efficiency
I have disabled the Remote Management option on my router because of the potential security hole this opens to hackers
Could an OCE please confirm if the article referenced above is accurate in that Automatic Firmware Updates will not be applied to my router whilst this option is disabled
I ask because there seems to be conflicting opinions from some forum members
If automatic updates are disabled, is there an alternative manual process which I can follow when an update becomes available ?
Note, at the moment, my router firmware is up to date at v1.06t
