After two attempts to leverage the app to update the firmware whic was v2.3.5.32, I went to the computer to access the router instead. I finally was able to get it updated and it's working fine.
When I try to go out and understand the firmware update and review release notes, I can't actually find anything for V2.3.5.32 for the RBR40 . I see a "hot fix" labeled V2.3.5.34 and a prior release V2.3.5.30 , but nothing for what I currently have. Is there something I am missing? Shouldn't I see the release notes for V2.3.5.32?? And why doesn't RBR40 show up as an option for model but RBS40 does??
The real question is...was your system working BEFORE you upgraded to v2.3.5.32?
Yes somewhat. That same morning, the internet just stopped connecting. I had some trouble a day or two earlier as well. When that occurs, I just go into the router via my computer. That's when I saw a notification there was a firmware update this morning that I hadn't noticed in the past. I followed the firmware update and after a couple of attempts, all was completed. I haven't seen any issues this past week.
Ultimately, I was just curious why I have a firmware update that has no Release Note to read. That's all.
Not sure why. NG removed v32 from manual download however does seem to have removed it from there update servers. V34 is available as a security patch. It has release notes. If your system is working. I would leave it alone for now. Be sure to make a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
Enjoy.
