NETGEAR-GUEST wifi SSID broadcast from RBS50Y although this SSID is not set up on my RBR50 Router
Hi I wonder if someone can offersome help? When my RSB50Y is on V2.6.2.40 my main network and guest network are fine, but as soon as it auto updates to V2.6.2.104 I have a new OPEN unsecured ss...
Is 2.6.2.40 a Typo? On the RBS50Y Download page, I see:
2.6.2.104 (Orbi mode for Orbi)
2.3.5.32 (Orbi mode for Orbi)
and in the Previous Firmware section there is
2.6.1.40 (Orbi mode for Orbi)
Do I understand that after a Manual Update, when you access the RBS50Y web interface (by IP address), it does not show the firmware that was manually loaded, but instead shows 2.6.2.104?
Yes sorry should be 2.6.1.40 (Orbi mode for Orbi)
No the firmware does downgradge to 2.6.1.40 but when I reboot the system the router shows it has updated back to 2.6.2.104.
Thanks for your reply and much needed correction.

The manual firmware upload is being done directly on the RBS50Y web interface, correct?
i.e. connecting the web browser directly to the RBS50Y by IP address, not connecting to the router?
This is just so different from my experience. Although I do not have an RBS50Y, I recently spent all afternoon loading various firmware on an Orbi router (about 10 versions if I recall correctly). Although it would complain when the upload version was "older" than what was on the router, every single time the router rebooted with the version I had manually loaded.
