New Orbi RBR50/RBS50 Firmware Version 2.3.1.44
Netgear is pushing out yet another a new Orbi firmware update.
Hopefully it's better than the last version v32.
Please share your experience.
Firmware Update
...
My Orbi has been like this for a few days now. It continues to say "service unreachable" in the Firmware Update section. I'm on .32. Since upgrading to .32 I've been having experiencing random drops and outages.

How can I get it to recognize the new firmware? Do I need to factory reset, and if so - does my backup file contain all things necessary? (Address Reservation, Port Forwards, DDNS settings etc...)?
Hello, I don’t know the answers to your questions, but if you do go ahead with the reset, let us know if it clears up the problem and puts things right.
I’d also say if you’re worried about settings, I’d be sure to have a verifiable backup plan. I’d probably re-enter the settings manually anyway to be safe.

I have tried a full reset on both router and satellite, setup again from scratch. Still says "Service Unreachable" on firmware update page. Stuck on .32? Anyone have any suggestions?
- IIRC, there is a procedure to connect a device like a PC to the Orbi and flash the firmware that way. You should be able to download the file from the NG website, however last time I looked I couldn't find it myself.
Yes, I am familiar with the manual firmware update procedure. However on the Netgear firmware page, only .32 is listed and not the new .44. As I understand it, .44 update is an auto update only through the Orbi's firmware update process. Getting really tired of rebooting, manual updates, factory resets... starting to regret Orbi purchase...
