orbi firmware update RBR50-V2.1.2.18 will not install
OS is Win10 64 bit. First the Netgear email link did not load. Second, going to Netgear website, the firmware upgrade (see above) comes as a compressed disc file, whatever that is. Third, I cannot de...
The "confusing page" looks like it is showing you the contents of the compressed file. The first file is the release notes. The second file is the firmware image "RBR50-V2.1.1.18.img". Your Windows File Explorer is set to not show common file extensions so you do not see the ".img" part of the name. Everything looks in proper order.
The "Image" is a tab. You can extract the files by clicking on the "Extract All" button towards the upper right. Make note of where it will extract to. Then go there and use the ".img" file to update the firmware. Note that since you do not show extensions, you will have three items shown as "RBR50-V2.1.1.18".
Thanks. I was able to move ahead a step or two.
Unzipped the file into my Netgear folder.
Trying to open the file, the message is "the disc image file is corrupted."
Appreciate any help.
