    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.

Just be aware that if you have a RBR50 and upgrade to 2.7.2.104 then you will lose the parental control feature for Circle.

 

I rolled back to 2.6.1.40 in order to enable the circle feature and setup the phone app.  But then updating back to 2.7.2.104 it disappears again and the phone won't be able to find the circle.  I had to rollback again to 2.6.1.40 and enable the feature yet again to restore the circle functionality.  Looks like the newest firmware forgot to include it?
