RBR50 Router and Satellite Firmware 2.7.1.60
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 ...
Netgear has a system to roll out firmware updates to the Orbis, they won't all show the current firmware when you update via the app or web control panel. It doesn't work in a very predictable or useful way, IMO. So it's not surprising that your system didn't update to the just released version.
There is a separate product page for the router and the satellite. I do see 2.7.1.60 available for both the RBR50 and the RBK50 web pages.

Personally, I tend to wait a little while before applying an update, to let others find the problems. Perhaps sooner if there is a real security risk addressed in the update.
Also if you choose to update to v60, you'll see that v102 is most recent:
Good Luck.
