Announcing availability of OrbiOS 2.1
We’re excited to announce that OrbiOS 2.1 is now available for immediate download here: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBK50.aspx#download https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBK40.asp...
2.0.0.74 has terrible connectivity issues. 2.1.1.12 just made them worse. I hear the 1.x versions are fairly stable. However, I also hear that they have some major security bugs which were patched in the newer versions. I'd be rather concerned about using 1.x and leaving my home vulnerable to hacking.
Looking through the release notes, it seems a number of them were patched in the last version of 1.12, except for the KRACK fix, which is in the latest 2.1. Will likely wait it out a litle bit. Still in my return period, so we'll see how things go. See if Netgear steps up and akes ownership of the issues or not.
