RBR40 firmware update to 2.7.5.6 legit?
Greetings all! Long time lurker, first time poster. I still run my old Orbi AC2200 Tri-band WiFi Router (RBR40) as a guest network, and noted that, even though it has been end of service for a wh...
If it's being seen in the RBRs UI or Orbi app then yes it's valid and legit. Was mentioned in another post that it's legit. NG seems to take there time on getting files posted and can push via Auto Update first which has happened in the past. Then they will post the FW files later on. Up to you if you update. Be sure to allow the RBS to be updated as well if you do. Those should update first. I recommend bringing any RBS closer or to same room as RBR to ensure they get updated properly.
Or hold off until files show up.
Thanks! I'll probably await the official post (though I wonder if it will come since the product is technically End of Service).
