RBR50, RBS50 won't find 2.7.1.60 firmware update
I got the email from Netgear today informing me I needed to update the firmware to the latest version for security reasons, neither the app or the web interface will find the latest update online. It...
Manual update to ver 2.7.1.60 is the only option at this time. Netgear has not placed newer versions on their update servers.
There are lots of threads here discussing the pros/cons for updating (or not) manually. Please read and then decide if you are up to it.
I went ahead with the manual update.
Satalite first and then router (connected through a switch port to the router), then after I gave it a awhile to reboot, launching the iOS app it prompted me to update the satalite firmware again. So updated the satalite firmware again (this time through the app) and I'm now on version 2.7.2.102 for both the router and satailite.
Glad the update went well for you. I recommend making a backup configuration to file for safe keeping. Helps safe time if a reset is needed.
Enjoy.
