New - SXR50 / SXS50 Firmware Version 4.3.2.100 Released

Bug fixes: 08/01/2023

Fixes the issue where Insight onboarding fails when you already set a multicast DNS (mDNS) gateway policy.

Security Fixes:

This firmware addresses security vulnerabilities. For more information about security vulnerabilities, visit https://www.netgear.com/about/security.

Known Issues:

After updating the router firmware, existing WiFi clients might be steered to the router because the WiFi networks on the router come up faster than the WiFi networks on the satellite. The existing WiFi clients might notice slower throughput or a weaker signal.
Workaround: Manually reconnect to the satellite, or roam to the area that is covered by the satellite.
WPA3-Enterprise might not work with an iPhone 11 that supports 802.11ax and that runs iOS 14 or a later iPhone model that runs iOS 14.
Workaround: Do not use WPA3-Enterprise.
You can access the router web interface only over the default VLAN network.
Workaround: Connect to a WiFi network that uses the default VLAN profile.

Warnings:

If the WPA2-Personal [AES] + WPA3-Personal WiFi security mode is enabled, reapply the configuration for the Wireless 1 network after you update the firmware.
We do not recommend that you downgrade to an earlier firmware version because of potential configuration compatibility issues. If you must downgrade to an earlier version, perform a factory reset after you install the earlier version, and then reconfigure the router.

Firmware Update Instructions:

If the Orbi Pro is connected to the Insight cloud, perform a firmware update through the firmware schedule policy, or manually perform a firmware update using the NETGEAR Insight app or router web interface.

To update the Orbi Pro firmware from the router web interface, follow the instructions in your product’s user manual. To find your user manual, visit https://www.netgear.com/support/, enter your model number in the search box, and click Documentation on the product page. We highly recommend updating the satellite firmware first, and then updating the router firmware.

After updating to the latest firmware, make sure to update your version of the NETGEAR Insight app for the best functionality and user experience.
