RBR 40 not listed for manual firmware update
Trying to update the firmware on my RBR 40 after updating my satellites to V2.3.5.34, and have a few questions: 1. Does V2.3.5.34 apply to the RBR 40, or is V2.3.5.30 the most current firmware? 2. My RBR 40 is not listed under Advanced/Admin/Firmware/Manual update; how do I access it to update it to V2.3.5.34 if it needs to be updated? 3. On the Netgear support page the RBR 40 is no longer listed, does it use the same firmware as the RBS 40?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Most will tell you that the FW for both the router and sats should match. The real question is WHY are you doing manual updates?
I'm doing a manual update b/c the RBR 40 is not listed in Advanced/Admin/Firmware...

Does your system work?
So you're saying this section/settings (Advanced/Admin/Firmware...) is missing?
v34 is the latest for both RBR and RBS40:
https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBK40.aspx#download
If you do, use a wired PC, web browser, IE11 or FF, and unpack the .zip files. Update the RBS first then RBR lastly.
If your systems are working with out any problems, you can keep whats loaded. "if it works, don't fix it!"
