Hi jeberhawk,

 

I understand that you were able to update your RBR50 to the latest released firmware v2.7.4.24. There is no need to factory reset your device once it has successfully been updated. 

 

Firmware updates are pushed out in increments over a period of time. The reason your Orbi app did not detect the updated firmware is because the firmware was not pushed out to your device. However, it is still available for use via manually update.

 

Best,

Kevin
