    NG is giving you the option to update to v34 from there web site download page. Users choice to upgrade or not. If the web browser certificate warnings bother you then you can manually download the FW files and manually install them to the RBS first then RBR. Factoy reset the RBR and setup from scratch to ensure the FW installation seats well. If your not bothered by the browser warning when you go the RBRs web page then you can keep whats loaded and wait fo the next full FW update to appear in the RBRs FW update web page section or again, manually download FW files and install them manually your self. I use this method for when I update my systems. Helps avoid mose problems seen after some FW updates.

    Also be sure to do a backup configuration to file of your RBR for safe keeping.
