Firmware update for RBW30 V2.1.0.18 on the website is no good
Title says it all. There is an invalid file fragment in the zip called RBW30-V2.1.0.18_1.0.9.chk that is not a firmware img file. I downloaded it twice to be sure. Leave it to Netgear....support has ...
Try to load the firmware from this page. I checked and it is suppose to be a .chk file

OK, I was able to get this loaded....not sure why it didn't before.
I will let you know how it behaves.
I have installed firmware V2.1.0.18_1.0.9 on the RBW30 and V2.0.1.2 on the RBR40 and things are ok for a little while. Then there is a hiccup on the Satellite, the Orbi network goes down and drags down any device connected (via wire) to the Cable modems ethernet. I turn off the Orbi and everything starts working on the wired network again.
These are the original symptoms I complained about on another thread.
NETGEAR PLEASE HELP, we are getting nowhere and I am losing internet 1 to many times a day. I am on Spectrum 300Mbs plan and there have been no regional problems reported.
BTW, I had replaced the mesh network with Google WiFi and did not have these issues (it ran clean for over a week), plug the orbi back in and problems over the entire network.
Recommend you roll back to 2.0 on your RBW30.
I updated to 2.1 on mine and had disconnects (both Wi-Fi network disappearing, and Wi-Fi network there but no internet connection starting last night after upgrading and into this morning.
I rolled back to 2.0.0.34 on the RBW30 satellite (and have kept 2.0.0.56 on my RBR40 router) and things have been steady for the last six or seven hours.
any updates from the community on fixes from netgear on rbw30 dropout? I am having the same dropouts with my rbw30 satellites and have two days to decide on returning to amazon for full refund or waiting and hoping for fixes from netgear.
If we are not even getting worthwhile effort on updated firmware...
