FYI, v2.5.2.4 seems to be the last in the v2.5 line of FWs. NG hasn't given an auto update notification path to v2.6 or v2.7 from v2.5. 

If users wish to update beyond v2.5, you'll need to manually download v2.6 FW files for 50 series Orbi and apply them manually over v2.5. RBS first then RBR lastly. v2.6 version is for USA and all other regions.

For users wishing to update to v2.7 versions, you'll need to manually download v102 FW files for 50 series Orbi and apply them manually. RBS first then RBR lastly. v2.7 versions is for USA region only.

    I have tried that already. I successfully got the Satellite to the 2.7 version, but I cannot get the Router to update to anything else at all. It is stuck at 2.5.1.16. I tried the update that it wants me to apply, which is 2.5.2.4 (both automatically and manually) and then I have tried the 2.6 version and the 2.7 version manually. Nothing is allowing it to move from 2.5.1.16.
