Netgear removed FW 2.5.0.40 + Current 2.3.5.38 "no new fw avail" = Don't upgrade
Just noticed that the Netgear Downloads site no longer shows 2.5.0.40. And on my running RBR and RBS 2.3.5.38, they are no longer indicating that an FW upgrade is available. Could it be that someone a...
I was told today that NG pulled v30 and v40 from there Orbi update servers. So users shouldn't see this on there FW update page on the RBR. Yes there available via the download site.
They confirmed that v34 is the standing latest version that they recommend upgrading to. You can upgrade to v34 which has the web page certificate fix or downgrade to v30 or last working version of FW. A factory reset is the last resort if users can't get there systems working normally. Those of us who do resets and manual upgrades, this seems to avoid issues seen by those of you who do see issues and choose not to do a reset. It's up to you. NG said it was coming out with a new FW udpate to fix the device naming issue found in v38. For those of you who can't get there systems working, with or with out a factory reset, revert back to something that works for you and wait for the next update to arrive. No date was given when the next FW upate will be released.
Good Luck.
Interesting... I mean 2.5.x.x vs 2.3.x.x. But I still do not see any logic in this chronological numerations.
If somebody is interested I've released my custom firmware build v. 2.5.0.42SF-HW (2.5.0.40 was used as a basis, "HW" means hrdware acceleration of OpenSSL). List of changes:
