NG sometimes pushes FW udpates before they post them on the web site.

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.

OK... The new firmware has been out for 12 days or more.

Have any issues be reported for this update that multiple people have seen/reported?

Is there really a setting switch users can set to turn off/on the auto update? I have a RBR50 & I don't see it when logged into the router with web browser & the auto update doesn't show

2.5.1.16. I'm currently using 2.5.1.8.

at this point, after checking again, i didn't see it either, which must mean NG pushes ALL auto updates. I did see where you can check for updates and my poor old 6 month firmware came back and said NO new updates available. Imagine that
