- 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.

Thanks everyone for your great feedback, in as much as I love Netgear this issue with upgrading there devices is a common one. Sadly they really don't have any solid competition to light a fire under them to get it right the first time.
I run a small successful busines from my home that relies 99% on my internet connectivity my orbi is still on V2.5.1.16 its super stable and until I can confirm that this new firmware is not going to put me out of business, I'll stay on V2.5.1.16
