New Orbi firmware 2.1.2.18 update issues?
I noticed that there was a new firmware version 2.1.2.18 for Orbi RBK50. Has anyone installed this version, and has there been any issues after the installation. Please provide any details that you...
Almost the same here :
Firmware check shows :
"Router RBR40 : RBR40 V2.1.2.18 No new firmware version available."
"Satellite RBS40 : Orbi Satellite-1 V2.1.1.16 Service unreachable"
and no way to update satellite manually ("This firmware file is incorrect! ...")
???
1. Manually download V2.1.2.18 firmware for the satellite from here: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBK40.aspx#download.
2. Navigate to orbilogin.com in a broswer. Log into orbi and find the satellite IP address in GUI. Satellite IP address is shown under attached devices.
3. Navigate to http://Satellite IP/fwUpdate.htm in a broswer. Log into orbi and browse to the location where you downloaded the firmware and install.
Thank you for your reply iJester, but still it returns the same error message in my case:
This firmware file is incorrect! Please get the firmware file again and make sure it is the correct firmware for this product.
The uploaded file I used was RBS40-V2.1.2.18.img for my RBK40 satellite, which I believe is an RBS40. Perhaps there is something wrong with the file?
Thanks iJester but that did not work for me.
But I also got the following message from the browser : ... <meta http-equiv="Cache-control" content="no-cache"> ... which as far as I understand may be an indication of a desynchronization between the satellite and the router.
So I re-sync satellite and router using Power On/Off button of the satellite.
It then automatically reloaded from Netgear site V2.1.2.18 firmware and asked me to install, what I did successfully.Now satellite and router have the same firmware versions.
