My set got the update also last night. This morning my app anounced the update to me.
The firmware cannot be found on the official site.
@Netgear or maybe FURRYe38 please provide us with an changelog.

Sometimes NG pushes FW updates thru auto update before they post about it. I presume if NG is starting to push FW via auto update, NG will probably post it this week or next for general public. Do you see any release note information on the RBRs web page under the FW update section?

No mention of the firmware update on NG's support download page. Still shows V2.5.1.16. I just pushed a firmware check, in the GUI, and no firmware is available for update.

I can't find anything on the router under the update section about release notes or what has been changed.

Mine was on the .32 and has also auto updated. Bizarrely though, it is no longer using the wired backhaul but 5Ghz despite being connected with a wire.
Either there's a bug with this firmware that prevents it using wired or it is wired and reporting wireless.Is there anyone at Netgear that monitors this forum that could give us changelog or advice on how to get wired backhaul back?
Thanks

No further clues here either:

The last entry is "MSG25116" which would indicate V2.5.1.16 as each of the MSG flags seem to be previous versions that I recognise.
Satellites still not updated or detecting new firmware. Hopefully something official will appear next week.
