RBR50 current version
Hello, I noticed that my current firmware version is V2.3.5.30 but on the netgear website it says version 2.5.1.8 is out as of 12 Dec 19. I guess my question is shouldn't it let me know there is...
Netgear disabled autoupdate of firmware due to many issues that it has caused, and based on feedback and requests from customers. If v2.3.x is working for you, then you are fine staying on it. If you want the latest v2.5.1.8, then you have to manually install it, download it from https://www.netgear.com/suppzio fort/product/RBK53.aspx#download
Download the zip file for both the router and satellite
Unzip the files
Manually upgrade the firmware on the satellites first using the RBS-v2.5.1.8.img file
Finally, upgrade the firmware on the router using the RBR-v2.5.1.8.img file
