Orbi RBR50 Router Firmware Version V2.7.2.102
A new Router Firmware Version V2.7.2.102 installed automatically during the night. So far so good!

v2.7 handles parenal controls differently. v2.7 versions are for US region users only.
Access controls are located under Advanced tab/Security. If you need Circle support, you'll need to revert back to the FW version you had loaded that supported Circle, I believe v16 or v40 support Circle.
Please post about this over in the Circle forum for help and information regarding Circle:

Good Luck.

Why isn't this version offered when users check for updates in the web login area?

Not true ....again..sorry
and if it were true how would someone NOT have v60?

Is true, once I had v60 on my RBR50, v102 appear as an available download in the RBRs FW update web page. Others reported seeing this as well:
ALL avialble FW versions are on NG download site for manual download and manual update as well. Up to users to upate or not.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
