When it was done, orbilogin.com indicated that my satellites, all RBS50, were all updated to 2.5.1.16. The thing is, I can't find on netgear.com a downloadable version of that satellite firmware. There IS a version 2.5.1.16 for the RBS20, but the latest listed version for the RBS50 is 2.5.1.8. My question, then is, what's going on? Is it that my system is misidentifying the firmware version of the satellites? OR did my router force a RBS20 firmware on my RBS50 satellites? OR is there a "secret" 2.5.1.16 version for the RBS50's? Any insight from the community would be appreciated.
hi,
Although my answer isn't specifically directed to your question, I have recently update to V2.5.1.16
Firstly, for me there have been no updates automatically for the V2.5.1 series - I have done them manually myself.
Yesterday [28 April 2020] I download the zip files for RBS50 & RBR50.
It's good practice to update your satellite Orbi devices first [I only have the 1 satellite].
The manual update for RBS50 & RBR 50 went without a problem.
On my Android phone I'm running VV2.4.25.962
The Device Manager is display the devices with the appropriate icons.
All seems OK
My only problem in recent weeks has been the RBR50 deciding to reboot - which isn't great as there are a few of us trying to work from home.
Has anyone else had this reboot issue lately?
