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

There are several posts discussing this very question, and the short answer is, "nobody knows".  And, if Netgear has an explanation, they have not published it.  People have strong opinions on what the best approach is.  Some are eager to find a way to load the "latest" firmware. Others are happy to wait until the Firmware Update web page is ready to install it. And, some do not want to update firmware unless their Orbi is not working correctly. i.e. "If it aint broke, don't fix it."  The situation sucks.

Click on the link "Release Notes" and it will lead to a page showing two firmware downloads, one for the RBR50 (R for router) and one for the RBS50 (S for satellite).

As for contacting Netgear, the 90 days of "complimentary support" are long past. That's why most of us came to the community forums.
