What is the latest firmware I should be running on my RBR50?
Current firmware 2.2.1.210 (says there are no updates)
From netgears page however it appears there is version 2.2.1.212 and 2.3.0.32 available
Any help is appreciated
Since my previous comment above there has been yet another firmware release that updates the .32 version to 2.3.1.44.
The list of things it claims to resolve are pretty significant, so although you may THINK you are not having issues, your performance and reliability would increase by going to the newest.
You still have to manually get to .32 as is previously described and then have it update to .44
Some may say if it aint broke, dont fix it, but in this case I think it is very much worth the effort.

where are you seeing the .44 release, in the GUI or online? also, any chance you can list the changes vs .32? I do not see the .44 on the netgear firware update website for the RBK53. thanks

Thanks for posting the change logs.
The .44 version does not have manual update files (so far). It showed up in my Orbi Web Gui under advanced admin firmware.
Remember, you still have to update to the intermediate and .32 before getting this.... I know it is a pain, but you didnt have anything to do on a friday night did you!? LOL
