I have RBR50 Router and two satellites that I purchased some year ago. 

To day I have updated the firmware on my Router through ORBI app. And it shows as V2.5.2.4

I wonder why it did not update to the latest Firmware available which is 2.7.1.60 ?

 

Netgear has not uploaded/updated the firmware that it supplies to the servers when you check for firmware updates through the app or the web interface. 

Why? The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind.

 

In order to update the Router and Satellites manually by downloading the available firmware the user manual suggest  that  update Satellites first and then the Router.

 

But on the NETGEAR site I found only one Firmware that is RBR50(Router) Firmware VErsion 2.7.1.60(For US Region Only)

 

That happens when you go to the downloads page (https://www.netgear.com/support/download/) and search for "RBK50v2"

Once you download the zip file, the release notes has the links to router (base) and satellite firmwares.  The firmwares are NOT the same. 

If you go to the same download page and search for "RBK50" you see separate listing for the router and satellite 2.7.1.60.

 

Yes, its nuts!

 

You can check the underside of your router to see which RBK50 you have.

 

Does that mean it is the same firmware for both the routers and two satellites? or I should not update the satellites with this.

Is there a separate firmware for Satellites If so what is the latest version of the Firmware for Satellites?

 

The router and satellite firmwares are different!!

 

Is there any Netgear support phone number that I can call and clarify?

Any clarification on this is highly appreciated.
