firm ware update Rbr 20
I know there is a firmware update but when i go to check for update it gives me a message that everything is up to date. When are firmware updates available for automatic update?

No one here knows.
Manual updates from Netgear's download site is the only option for those who choose to do so.
That has it's risks and complications. Plenty of posts here describing those issues.
NG seems to take there time in putting new FW up on there auto update servers. You can manually download and manually apply FW using a wired PC and web browser using NGs support site as well:

Good Luck.

- Finally got a manual update completed. Thanks for your help. Not an expert but why did you specify a wired connection?
Wireless connections can be problematic when doing FW updates. Having a hard wire connection to the RBR helps maintain better connections when doing a manual FW update. Safer that way. Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a backup configuration to file for safe keeping. Helps save time if a reset is needed.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
