Orbi RBK50 2.5.0.38/40 firmware

You can find v40 here:

If you choose to update, be sure to factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch. Walk thru the setup wizard and complete the setup. If this allows you to remove your ISPs modem from the mix and use the RBR directly with there services, enjoy. You might contact your ISP to confirm that this is possible and won't interfere with there services.

Hello,

 

I have a RBR50 with 1 satellite RBS50.

I've seen on a news website a few days ago that a "new" firmware allows me to use directly Orbi instead of my internet provider box (Orange) : firmware 2.5.0.38

 

After verification, I am still on an older firmware and the update don't show up !

After a look on the forum, I discover that there is also a newer version : 2.5.0.40.

 

After searching on the support section, those two firmware are not "easily" available : nothing through the official search bar, the latest firmware is 2.3.5.38.

But through a google search, I can find the 2.5.0.40 on a support webpage...

 

As I also see that it seems that there is some people unhappy with those firmware, and stating that there is new bug, I want to know what is happening with this firmware ?? what is the problem ? do I risk something using this firmware ?

 

Thanks in advance,
