Orbi RB(R/S)50 Not Auto Updating to Firmware v2.0.0.76
It appears that there's a firmware hotfix available here: https://kb.netgear.com/000049562/RBR50-RBS50-Firmware-Version-2-0-0-76-Hot-Fix However when I log in to my Orbi using the Android App and...
2.0.0.76 is a Beta release, the Orbi only auto-updates to official releases. You can, however, download the firmware from the page whose URL you have quoted, and manually update your Orbi. It's easy to do, just remember to update the satellite unit first. Usually, the release notes for a firmware release tell you how to manually update your Orbi. The release notes are usually included in the .zip firmware image archives. In the case of 2.0.0.76, release notes are in the .zip archives, and they describe how to flash the firmware onto your Orbi units in detail.
I've manually flashed to 2.0.0.76 Beta, and my Orbi is doing great using it.
Is there any update on a stable release ?
Thanks
It is also marked as a "HotFix" so I'm not sure that it should be called a Beta?
Or if it's a Beta, then should it really be marked as a HotFix, which may mislead people into thinking that it's a critical fix.
I would think that "Beta Security Patch" would be a better description.
Also, it's been over a month now - how long does NetGear normally take to go from Beta to Prod?
