- Feb 03, 2021I became aware of the latest firmware while browsing this forum. Neither the app nor the web interface indicated an available update. I downloaded the files via my computer and performed a manual update via the web interface -- one satellite first, then the other, then on to the router. (RBK50) In the past, I have had updates pushed out (only once); notices both on the web and app of firmware updates available; and updates that I found were released via this forum which I've manually installed (the latter seems to be the most frequent way I have updated firmware). Through all ways, I have never had the slightest issue with downloading and installing updated firmware.

In the past I tried several versions after 2.5.1.6 and had issues with all of them within a short time after upgrade.
...- using "VPN Service"
- using "LAN Address reservation" (bind MAC to a fix IP address)
Just to have you updated. After nearly 5 days on 2.7.2.104 -> NO issues at all !
Looks like I do not have to look for (mesh) alternatives (non Netgear).
