rbk23 firmware update
However, Just purchased a new RBK23 Orbi which came with FW v2.2.1.210. According to the release notes for any new FW (e.g., https://kb.netgear.com/000061404/RBR20-RBS20-Firmware-Version-2-3-5-36-H...

Use v210 to get the RBR up to date:

You can apply the most resent version of FW to the RBS first to get it going. You don't have to apply v210 to the RBS. Just go directly to the latest version.

According to the release notes for any new FW (e.g., https://kb.netgear.com/000061404/RBR20-RBS20-Firmware-Version-2-3-5-36-Hot-Fix ) :
"Note:
If your firmware version is 2.2.1.210 or lower, you cannot update the firmware directly to v2.3 or higher. You must first update the firmware to v2.2.1.212 using the manual firmware update feature in the router web interface. After updating the firmware to v2.2.1.212, your Orbi router reboots, and then you can update to higher versions."
However, v2.2.1.212 is NOT available for download - at least not for the RBR20 series - not even in "Previous versions" expanded list.
Please advice best solution to upgrade FW.
Thanks
