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!

I'm a UK customer but based in Africa. My RBR50 (with 1 satelite) is running FW V2.5.2.4. I don't use parental controls or Armor. Should I upgrade to V2.7.2? How would I go about doing that if the automatic updates don't detect it?
Cheers.

I would try v40 first as it's a known ALL regions version of FW which can be manually downloaded and manually applied if you feel the need to update:
