I have a RBK53with two satelites. I am presently running firmware V2.1.2.18. When I go on the website it says current firmware is V2.0.1.14. When I went to manually update the firmware to V2.0.1.14 it says that it is order firmware. I am comfused which is the correct current firmware for the system.

I did a factory reset and loaded the new firmware. The system seems more stable, but i did have to do a reboot once in the last two weeks.

Good to hear. Glad its working better. Eventually, resets shouldn't be need.I would make a save configuration to file for this version of FW for safe keeping. Enjoy.

v.18 was pulled from automatic updates due to users complaining about it. NG recommended v.14 as the most current. If your not seeing any issues then keep whats loaded. If you are then try downgrading to v.14

I have a Arris 6190. I keep dropping internet,but Orbi shows the wifi is up but no internet. The Arris is brand new and and had the same problem with the old modem. I have had comcast out and they have checked everything several times. Not sure what the issue is. Any suggestions? Thanks

You may want to try the beta firmware and see if that helps with your connection issues. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Orbi-MR-2-1-Update-3-23-18/td-p/1533584 DarrenM
