Note:

If you’re manually updating the firmware using a browser, you cannot update the firmware directly to v2.3.0.32. You must first update the firmware to v2.2.1.212. After updating the firmware v2.2.1.212, your Orbi router will reboot, and then you can update to v2.3.0.32.

Ok I get that, but why is there no official post/link to this 2.2.1.212 firmware? And do I have to install 212 on the router and the satelite or only on the router?

The only place I found a link for v2.2.1.212 in the NG support pages is to go to Support, Orbi, and select RBK53. Once on that page, click on Downloads. Both the 2.2.1.212 and 2.3.0.32 links are there.

Here is a link: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBK53.aspx#download

  Interesting. The release notes for the interim version clearly denote the intent.
  I guess it’s safe to apply now on the RBK50 as well?
