New - Orbi RBR50 Router Firmware Version V2.7.2.104 Released

- 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.
Your answer makes me think about what I said. I am on Circle version 1 and that hasn't been affected for me. Sorry if I caused any confusion.
First post on here since looking to throw my RBR50/RBS50 setup in the bin...
Have just updated to V2.7.2.104 and now my system is dropping connection every 5 minutes and unuseable for work. I'm currently tethering off my phone.
The system was perfect up until this update.
Can I roll back to the previous software?
Cheers.

any progress?
I've done a clean install and still having a few niggles but definitely better than it was.
The RDS50 in the shed (10m away from RBR50) was having the most issues, and only picking up the 2.4ghz feed, but after lots of swearing at it and a couple of resets, seems to be holding a strong 5ghz connection now.

10m (32.8084 feet) is a bit beyond the recommended 30 feet or 9.144m
Hi,
Just to let you know I did the upgrade from V2.6.1.40 to V2.7.2.104 version and had no issues.
First upgrade the satellites and then the RBR50.Best Regards,

So what I am reading is that .102 or .104 will fix the wired backhaul issue, but I may experience some ARP issues for the first 5 minutes. The issue I had before was the backhaul status was not showing as wired, I downgraded to 2.5.1.16 to have this work.
Can someone please confirm before I spend time this weekend in upgrading? Thank you in advance.
Yes, v102 and v104 work with ethernet back haul. Just this odd ARP storm is seen for about 2 minutes then stops, only if and when the RBS are ethernet connected to the RBR.

Hello, I had the same issues after the "auto-update" to the latest firmware, constant drops. I did the manual rollback to V2.6.1.40 and everything is stable again.
Worth noting...I had to telnet into both the router and the satellite and disable the auto check and and auto upgrade to prevent it from upgrading again right away. Frustrating but all is well now.
The router and satellite had different firmware files so make sure you download both and rollback the satellite first.
Disable update in satellite then router
Rollback satellite
Rollback router

Can you provide a bit more info on what you mean when you say ""auto-update"?
Thanks
Auto-update...as in automaticallyl applying the firmware update. I did not apply this update, my router did it automatically. Then after the rollback the first time, it automaically applied it again. So I had to disable it by performing the tasks from the attached link in my earlier post.

yeah....that sounds like the area of confusion a lot of people have about auto-update. Auto-update ususally means you did nothing. Netgear pushed the update to your network. This could have happened while you were a sleep. Maybe that's what happened in your case??
Using the app or pc login and seeing an available update there requires action on your part. You must click to actually execute the update. Different from a real auto-update.
But its all good. I'm just glad you got your system working again. Thanks
