Just a quick note to mention both the management console and the app can see the new firmware. So far the system hasn’t auto installed it… yet.
I started seeing the update show up in the app and web interface about 3-4 days ago I think. Neither my RBR50 or RBS50 have auto-updated, but my RBS50Y did auto-update.
Still no 2.7.4.24 available for my RBS50Yv2 after checking on the support page here:
https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBS50Yv2#download
or manually checking for updates in the web admin page, or if left to check automatically.
The outdoor satellite still shows the latest version as being 2.7.3.22.
My RBR50v2 and RBS50v2 both updated manually to 2.7.4.24 a couple of weeks ago.
I tried a full reboot of all mesh units to see if this helped but no change other than the other potential benefits a reboot brings.
Must be delays rolling out updates to the v2 variant of hardware (AU/NZ) given other users in different regions with the outdoor satellite have now got 2.7.4.24.
Is the "EU data analytics opt-out" a feature you can toggle off/on or is it automatically set to opt-out?
I couldn't find anything stepping through the post-update settings.
3 calls to support didn't get me anywhere, although I was cut-off just as the first person was directing me through the settings (I assume to show me where to toggle). The second person I spoke to said it's an automatic feature with no check-box option. I have nagging doubts.
