No Orbi RBR50 firmware update (from V2.5.2.4) available
Today, I received an email from Netgear stating that a new router firmware version is available for Orbi RBR50 routers. However, both the iOS app and the "Firmware Update" section in the web admi...
v60 is avaialble for manual download, however once it's installed v102 appears available on the RBRs FW update web page for upgrade. Some of uf have upgraded to v102. Working well. :smileywink:

At the current time, v2.7.1.60 is listed as the current version for the US region.
FYI, v2.5.2.4 seems to be the last in the v2.5 line of FWs. NG hasn't given an auto update notification path to v2.6 or v2.7 from v2.5.
If users wish to update beyond v2.5, you'll need to manually download v2.6 FW files for 50 series Orbi and apply them manually over v2.5. RBS first then RBR lastly. v2.6 version is for USA and all other regions.
For users wishing to update to v2.7 versions, you'll need to manually download v60 FW files for 50 series Orbi and apply them manually. RBS first then RBR lastly. v2.7 versions is for USA region only.
If you update to v60, v102 will appear in the RBRs FW update page. Users can select the UPDATE ALL button and your RBS and RBR should update.

Otherwise, users will need to wait for NG to post manual downloadable v102 files and apply them manually at a later date when they become available or keep what you have loaded if your Orbi is working well for you.
Good Luck.

What's the difference between what you see as available at the web login and these manual download files? Trying to understand why. If the manual download file is good to go, why is it not available at my web login?
