Software updates are critical to keeping your devices secure. They provide updates to know security issues and often bring new features and fix existing issues. However with these often come new issues that need to be fixed or they can bring your devices to their knees if the updates fail. This is true for any devices from your modem or smartphone to your PC or iPad.
