Wonder if we can get a discussion going.

I and many others still have RBR/RBS 50/40/30/20 systems actively running. I personally have an RBR50 and a RBS20 wireless satellite active in my home. This system is rock solid and performs well to meet my needs. It runs in router mode.

I realize there will be no firmware updates after June 2026 for the RBR50, but frankly the Netgear firmware updates have been quite infrequent. I'm not highly technical on the support and security risks but would appreciate any discussion on the real risks to continue to use this system over the next 1-2 years. The following questions occur to me:

1. What is the real risk to my network to simply continue to use the RBR50/RBS20 system? Can someone explain the actual risk profile in non-technical terms?
2. If I were to install an inexpensive edge router and run the system in AP mode -- would that significantly lower the security risk profile?
3. Should I consider installing 3rd party (Voxel) firmware (and what is the risk/benefit of doing that) to keep the firmware "supported"?
4. What would be a reasonable/low cost solution to replace the RBR50/RBS20? I've considered a used RBR750 or RBR850 -- but these are nearing end of life as well, I think.
5. Other thoughts?

I'm having a problem with Apple Mail using Gmail. This is occurring when I attempt to move messages from my Gmail inbox to other Gmail folders. Since version 26.4 (and continuing in 26.5 beta) the move to my selected target folder always defaults to the "Important" folder. This move default process used to "remember" other folders to move things to (by From source and/or subject topic). Is anyone else seeing this problem? Is there some new setup or setting that controls this new behavior?

This behavior still exists in the Developer 26.5 Beta 2 AND Developer 26.5 Beta 3 released on 4-20-26

Update April 22nd -- Maybe Fixed?? The Mail application recommended a default folder to move an email to (other than "Important"), today April 22nd for the first time. Perhaps this is fixed but not by an application change -- but as an issue fixed between Apple Mail and it's Gmail interface (??). Anyone else seeing new behavior?

Update April 25th -- I thought maybe it was solved since the app did make a single recommendation to move one email to a "correct" different folder, but this has happened only once. So I'm concluding the problem isn't really solved. Perhaps there is an internal ios file used by Mail that gets gradually updated with usage but I'm not sure. Other reddit users report that this is working for some email systems -- but right now its still broken for Gmail. My Apple Feedback case FB22318790 (as a developer beta tester) is still "open" as of today 4/26/26

Update April 30th -- Not resolved in ios 26.5 Beta 4. Apple Feedback case remains open.
