Orbi rbr50 and rbs50 firmware beta version?

Is there any one that is testing some beta software. If so what number is you on? And do you think its nearly ready for release?

  • 2.2.2.20 released today. Release logs show bug fixes only. I am terrified to apply it given Netgear’s history. I will wait a few days for others to report back thier experience. It’s Christmas and I WILL NOT let Orbi ruin my holiday weekend.

      Why isn't this posted / why isn't there a link to this in the closed Beta forum?

      Glad to know that NG is working on a new Orbi software and that it’s being tested by users.
      But also disappointed that this beta testing is happening outside the established community dedicated for this purpose.
      Is it a secret testing? Why do you need to make testing “in secret”? On which basis test pilots are being selected?

        You don't have a birth right to beta testing just because you bought an Orbi.  Netgear has posted previously looking for beta testers, though they may not in all cases.  If they want to keep something  quiet or secret it is their choice.

  • Just upgraded my “SRR60” to 2.2.2.20.  So far everything looks good, but it’s early.  I did see that the satellite rebooted a couple times, but I was patient and everything came back online.  Again, early but looks good.

     

    I’ve had my SRR60 since they were 1st released and went through some issues in the early days that rebooting solved.

     

    I’ll update if I have any issues.

      I had left a post in the post "Are you interested in beta testing" but have heard nothing.  What is best way to get into that program?  Would love to help test this new firmware.
