- I became aware of the latest firmware while browsing this forum. Neither the app nor the web interface indicated an available update. I downloaded the files via my computer and performed a manual update via the web interface -- one satellite first, then the other, then on to the router. (RBK50) In the past, I have had updates pushed out (only once); notices both on the web and app of firmware updates available; and updates that I found were released via this forum which I've manually installed (the latter seems to be the most frequent way I have updated firmware). Through all ways, I have never had the slightest issue with downloading and installing updated firmware.
The Readme (
https://kb.netgear.com/000062857/RBR50-RBS50-Firmware-Version-2-7-2-104 ) mentions the security page (https://www.netgear.com/about/security ).
But the Security page has no information specific to this release (which fixes security issues).
Why the lack of transparency?

Good question. Here's another one: Why isn't the RBR50 included in the latest advisory dated 1/21/21?
The WiFi 6 Orbi's have had their own set of challanges. Thay have had a lot of security and other updates.
A manual check for updates using the web interface (Advanced -> Administration -> Firmware Update) shows no new updates available.
Lets see if NG pushes this to the devices without user intervention ...
Time to save the configuration in case its needed :smileylol:
Earlier today I saw there was an update available to my RBS20 via manual update to v2.6.2.104. I went ahead and processed that update. Later, I saw FURRYe38's post about an update for 50 series. I checked in the app as well as the web interface and as usual, no updates available. I downloaded and manually installed the satellite updates (v2.7.2.104) to my RBS50's. I checked the app and web interface afterwards. It still shows no update for the RBR50 in the web interface, BUT in the app it shows there is an update available for the router. I already have the file downloaded for the router and just waiting for my kid to get done with his online homework before updating the router. Keeping my fingers crossed!
