RBR50 firmware has never been updated
I foolishly assumed that my Orbi would auto update firmware, but in the process of troubleshooting this morning realized that is SO not the case. My system is currently running firmware version 1.4.0.34.
Do I need to manually install all firmware versions released since, or can I jump to a more recent version? I apologize in advance for being so obtuse!
You'll need to update to v2.0.0.74 on the RBS first then RBR. Then you'll need to apply v2.2.1.212, Then you can go to more recent versions or check to see what the RBR finds for you.

wow and I thought I was bad.
you may want to perfrom a factory reset and then see what firmware the orbi grabs from the server and go from there.
you can do manual updates, however I believe you can not jump to the front of the line. From where you're at you may have to install a cetain version and then do another to get you current.

how about tell me if this would have worked:

Thanks for the info in responses. Sorry for the delay in my response.
I completed a factory reset, no new updates were found in the process. I then attempted a manual upload for the update noted 2.0.0.74(RBR50-V2.0.0.74.img) for RBS and received the following response: "This firmware file is incorrect! Please get the firmware file again and make sure it is the correct firmware for this product."
