Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
New firmware is available via the GUI ....
Let's hope for success.
My system firmware not auto-updated yet.
My current firmware (v2.1.4.16) setup is stable and trouble-free. I definitely won't manually update it if I'm going to face the same setup problems that I had to go through during the initial setup (ie system was only successfully setup after multiple attempts of updating the firmware and installing the 3 lan-linked satellites in a very specific sequence).
Netgear should either improve the firmware update process or include a comprehensive setup guide with specific steps (for satellites using wireless and wired backhauls) to save us the headache.
Updated through the app...both router and satellite came right back up and everything seems to be running smoothly.
Sounds like you got lucky. Glad yours is working well. Enjoy.

I have a RBR50 and an RBS50 and both upgraded fine and kept my SSIDs separate which I need for the Orbi to work at my home.
Same throughput and everything so far, woohoo!
