Could Update Firmware Version of BR200 Router to BR500 Router?
Hi, Could I download Firmware Version of BR200 Router And then Update my BR500 Router ? Thanks.
This is not recommended for you to use firmware from a different hardware version. It is possible that if you use the BR200 firmware to your BR500, the Instant VPN will be removed as it is not supported by the BR200 or worst case is it will be bricked.

Thanks,
When new version will release to BR500 Router?
Hello,
It is not possible, both the BR500 and BR200 are different products. The firmware files are not interchangable between products due to the Insight VPN on the BR500.
