FW 2.3.0.32 is now available on our support site :
https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBK50.aspx#download
RBR/RBS 50 Series Only.
To manually update the firmware, there is a need to ...
Just to highlight the older Firmware that was working with no issues with me before the upgrade to 2.3.0.2 is V2.2.1.210
Hello. You’re likely going to get a series of questions such as how is your Orbi’s host router port configured (DMZ is the optimum answer).
But as for downgrading, would need to be done my going to the support website and downloading the two corresponding files for the base and satellites, and using the web GUI to manually apply them along with a corresponding factory reset.
If you can wait on some of the other help, might be a better choice from a total time perspective.
BTW, what ISP service you have there?

Wireless is fine, firmware gets fully downloaded prior to update commencing. The only thing I found doing it over wireless ... Since one *has to* update RBR50 and should update their RBS as well to both 212 and then 2.3 you have more passes/opportunity seeing a harmless user interface hiccup.
That is sometimes the router settings page came back with success message and where I left off on the firmware management page and sometimes I had to sign back in. Then a couple of times I had to turn WIFI off on my computer and then turn it back on and let computer and router handshake again over WIFI.
** Not a problem at all and very common with any kind of work like this with any systems, some of this opportunity seeing harmless user interface hiccups would likely still be seen over a wired update.
Just a reminder be sure to download both the RBR and RBS versions of 212 and 2.3 and put RBR and RBS firmware in separate folders so you can keep them straight.
You must do Satelites firmware updates first, then the router firmware updates (Do all the 212s). Then again with 2.3, Sats 1st then router.
Lastly, note that the User interface for the updates might be confusing:
The page for manual firmware update is divided into two parts top (Router) and bottom (Satelite with checkboxes for which one if you have more than one). Yet you have to do Satellites 1st**
Also note that:
-Router section has BROWSE and UPLOAD buttons
-Satellite section has only an UPDATE button
Would make more sense if the buttons had the same names and both had BROWSE.
Good Luck.- Hi I updated the satellite....everything fine with v2.3.0.32...
But for the RBR50, i had a notification that I don’t have the correct firmware!!!
I downloaded the RBR50-V2.3.0.32.img and i don’t know why it didn’t work.
Thanks for your help.- Did you update to the intermediate .212 first on the router? I've read the satellites can be upgraded direct but the router needs the .212 firmware to allow the larger firmware.
