Do you have the download link to the latest Orbi RBK50 firmware (v2.3.1.44)?
I manually updated to 2.2.1.212 then 2.3.0.32 then performed a complete paperclip reset on everything. Since the x.32 update, the system has automatically updated to v2.3.1.44. However, I prefer to always download the file and perform a manual update then a reset. The RBK50 support page does not yet list x.44.
On a minor note, since autoupdating to v2.3.1.44, the Orbi iOS app has popped up a notification at least twice during the midnight hours stating "Your device 4Pxxxxxxxxxx75 has been upgraded to version v2.3.1.44"... seems a bit odd it keeps notifiying me every other night making me wonder if it's stuck in a loop on re-updating.
Thus my preference for performing a manual update followed by a complete system reset.
I would appreciate the link if you or anyone has it handy.
TIA

v44 is only available via auto update in the routers web page.
Files have not been posted as of yet for manual download.
