Orbi Firmware Update 2.5.0.40
Does anyone know what's in 2.5.0.40? All I can see from the software release is "Updates the https certificate" - it's described as a Hot Fix, but I would love to see a tad more detail. I had...
AND WHY DOESN'T NETGEAR POST AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON THESE FORUMS THAT 2.3.5.30 IS "THE LAST STABLE VERSION"?
AND WHY DOESN'T NETGEAR POST AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE NETGEAR DOWNLOAD SITE THAT 2.3.5.30 IS "THE LAST STABLE VERSION"?
Whoever is the Program Manager for the Orbi Firmware Development should be fired immediately. After 2 failed firmware releases credibility is gone.

Hi all,
I spoke with NETGEAR support.
Netgear refers to the .30 as “the last stable version” this version does not have the device naming issues. I will not upgrade to .40 seems a very small fix and existing problems still occur.
Alos, as someone who just purchased an Orbi in the past month, and who immediately just went ahead and downloaded the most recent firmware update (.038) , why wouldn't Netgear make their MOST STABLE version available for download?
I'm not a supertech genius, but I'm experiencing connectivity issues (on just two Apple devices) and trying to troubleshoot. I'd like, before going through the hassle of boxing it up and returning it, the option to use THE MOST STABLE FIRMWARE. Why wouldn't a company allow that?
Now they get my return.

I have to ask.....define 'downloaded'
How was this performed? After the initial install?
Through the app.
I did not manually download the update.
I clicked the button "check for updates." And then followed the prompts.

But why check for updates? Was your system working fine?
Following the prompts most likely required an approval click by you...??
When you did the initial install you were most likely on the most stable (as its called in here) firmware. Just a guess...:smileyhappy:
