Orbi MR 2.1 Update 3/23/18
Our teams are still working through the issues, but I wanted to provide a quick update on OrbiOS 2.1. We usually wait to release our software until it's available across all Orbi product lines, but ...
OK!!! I will say it again!!! What about the other models???? I mean it can't be that much different to mod the firmware for the other models. So 2.1.3.4 is working great for RBR50, Great!!!!!!! What about the other models???? It’s been two weeks since the beta was released?????? and it's being auto pushed to the 50 series. Getting tired of this if you can’t tell!
Best bet to keep an eye on this thread:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Orbi-MR-2-1-Update-3-23-18/m-p/1533584/highlight/true#M26234
and the official download web page.
May seen that is easy just changing some code. There a lot more that goes into FW development and testing.

I work for Cisco enterprise routing and switching and it's not that hard to modify firmware for same platform systems. I bought Orbi for my home because it's a great idea to have the backplan across it's own dedicated backhaul. But this is just getting ridiculous!
Mines working for me. And others.
Good Luck.

Its not being auto pushed to anything anymore. Since it is a beta, I'm not sure why they were doing that in the first place. It is a bit of a muddle why it is taking so long, no visibility, so my shot in the dark is that they are going from most installed base items to least installed base items. The RBR50, RBS50 are by far the most installed, with the RBR40/RBS40 being second, and everything else a distant third.
The amount of time this is taking is really unacceptable, like many others I struggle with ongoing issues with this system and I can't install the beta as I have a different model.
I really want this to work as this system does have great potential,
Netgear if you can't fix these issues why not start offering those of us stuck an exchange program for a working system, it shouldn't take months to fix something unless it was truly flawed from the onset.
