What are the current firmware versions for various Orbi models?

Hello everyone,

I am the person who always seeks out to find the latest firmware from Netgear in hopes that they fix all kinds of performance issues (that still to this day affect my system despite the issues getting progressively better). I am writing into the community as Netgear lately has been all over the place with firmware updates and lately I have found that their product's support page doesn't even match the current version as I found the current version on another page. It is really angering me that they can't even post the current firmware in the designated "Current Version" section of each product's page even after I told them to make the change numerous times. 

Thus, I wanted to write what I am running and want to know if my version (if you know) are indeed the latest ones.

My system (numbers in front of product name resemble the quantity of units in my Orbi system):

  • (1) RBR40 - Running Version 2.3.1.44
  • (2) RBS40 - Running Version 2.3.1.44
  • (1) RBW30 - Running Version 2.3.0.4
  • (1) RBS50Y Orbi Outdoor - Running Version 2.3.0.28

 

I am really getting tired of Netgear releasing a bunch of firmware updates back-to-back and not be definitvely clear on what is current. RBS50Y reports that version 2.3.0.28 is the current version, yet the site says 2.2.1.204. WHAT THE HELL IS IT THEN NETGEAR?!

If anyone could confirm with me that my system is right, it would put my mind at ease. :smileyhappy:

Thank you,
