New - RBR50 / RBS50 Firmware Version v2.7.1.60 Officially Released
RBR50 / RBS50 Firmware Version 2.7.1.60 (for US Region Only) Security Fixes: Fixes security issues Download Link:. https://kb.netgear.com/000062494/RBR50-RBS50-Firmware-Version-2-7-1-60-for-...
I just updated this weekend to V2.7.1.60 from Version 2.3.5.30. The long story is that I had tried to update from 2.3.5.30 a few months ago and the router started dropping internet every 10-15 minutes. (BTW, Disney+ is great at telling you when the internet drops even if it's buffered)
I was starting to worry about getting too far behind and tried the newest auto update (V2.5.2.4 I think) and it really started acting up again so I decided to try v2.7.1.60. I still get some drops but not as many.
Just thought I'd share with others. My RBR50 and RBS50's (I have 2) are fairly old (4 years or more so) so that may be part of the problem.
When I say "internet dropping" it could be the whole router, kind of hard to tell. I don't think it's just the wireless because the the message is can't reach the internet. While it was happening however I also couldn't get on the router configuration page either.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
Are you in the USA region? if not, then you may want to use this version of FW:
Or try v16 which is most stable version of FW currently:
