    I 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.

Update Friday last via App. Unstable and network drops/ fails randomly. What can I do to correct?

If doing a Factory Reset and reconfiguring does not help, the only other option is to download a previous firmware and install it manually.

There seem to be a lot of posts that start out: "I updated firmware using the app, and.... (something bad happened)"
