RBR50 firmware updates beyond 2.5.1.8

No. Just because you haven't seen a FW update in a while doesn't mean a system is EOL. 

 

FW update cycles can be anywhere from 6 to 9 months or longer. Kind of depends on problems found by users, reported by users and problems being actual problems that are reproduced by NG themselves. 

 

If your not having any problems with your system then enjoy it. Doesn't mean you have to update FW all the time.

However, in that time, I've seen NETGEAR release updates to their Orbi lineup. So, will my RBR50 & RBS50 continue to receive firmware updates from NETGEAR or have they reached EOL with regards to support? Thank you for your help with this. 

 

Kind regards,
