Orbi Firmware 2.3.1.60
Welp, anyone have any notes on this thing? It's already downloaded to my router and satellite waiting for me to pull the pin.
Hi,
Just for information, when you're in the Firmware Update page and it downloads new firmware to install, the version number next to both the router and the satellite is a clickable link.
If you click the link, it will show you the release notes of all changes between your currently installed firmware and the update.
Although, this "feature" is not hidden, it's not always obvious that it's there either.
Screenshot attached...... latest firmware and works perfectly on both router and satellite.
to get to 2.3.1.48 I had to email the CEO of Netgear otherwise I would not get support then I got a call from netgear technical and they had to download from the website and put on both devices but as of yet 60 is not listed yet.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What browser are you using?

I use my own router with the setup I have it's a BiPAC 8800NL latest firmware, no I never was sent an ISP router and it's not a router fault.
Your ISP modem has built in router and wifi already:

This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly. If a upstream router is between the modem and Orbi, then try removing the middle router and connect the Orbi directly to the ISP Modem.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modem or up stream routers DMZ or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem or up stream router and connect the Orbi router to the modem or router, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktopHas a factory reset been performed then setup from scratch and while walking thru the setup wizard, let the system check for a FW update and apply it there?
