Which firmware update? (AC3000)
Thanks to st_shaw and FURRYe38 for taking the time to respond to my earlier question:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/YEA-or-NAY-Orbi-AC300-RBR50-amp-RBS50/m-p/1654520#M43945
I went...
1. Which firmware version should I update to?- Don't worry about it. Once the Orbi router and Sats are setup, they SHOULD update themselves. If NOT, then leave them alone if your systems appears to be working.
2. Can I / should I NOT install the latest firmware version 2.2.1.210? - See above
3. Can I turn off firmware auto-updates? - Not sure. Many folks here complained and for awhile NG did seem to cut back on the auto updates. I believe they are back on. There is no perfect answer. If they/you turn off the auto updates, then what? You sit there and go by what others are saying..?? Maybe their network is a bit different than yours.
4. Any other words of wisdom?
