It's got firmware 2.6.1.40 loaded (latest for my region according to the Netgear website).

I've had varying results in searching both this and other forums on RBR50/NBN connectioin issues. Some say it cant be done as my provider (iPrimus) lock users into thier own routers where others (including iPrimus customer support) say it can be done as per the standard setup procedure.
All I know is the standard router from iPrimus is absolute garbage and is just not performing up to the task.
