Netgear removed FW 2.5.0.40 + Current 2.3.5.38 "no new fw avail" = Don't upgrade
Just noticed that the Netgear Downloads site no longer shows 2.5.0.40. And on my running RBR and RBS 2.3.5.38, they are no longer indicating that an FW upgrade is available. Could it be that someone a...
Please see my other posts in the other threads. Netgear has acknowledged to me via. email that there are bugs in the current firmware. They have based this on logs I have sent them for my RBR and RBS 50. They are working on a fix to be out in the next few weeks. I have told them that they need to sort out their firmware and ensure proper QA is donew as their last few versions have been buggy. I told them I do not want to keep emailing Patrick Lo (CEO) and Mark Merrill (CTO) with ongoing firmware issues. But at least now they have acknowledged that the issue is their end and not ours which has not happened before.
I updated my firmware from V2.3.5.30 to V2.3.5.34 an hour ago. So far the device naming looks correct as it did with the .30 release. However, there are two issues I see with the .34 hot fix update.
1. The firmware update screen showed that it should take about 3 minutes to update the firmware. This screen did not update, I finally had to open a new window to my router to see that the update completed.
2. Web browsers still do not trust the updated https certificate for the .34 release. The expiration date of the certificate is now for November 2029, but Edge, Internet Explorer and Chrome browsers still do not trust the certificate.
