Lost track a bit...what's latest FW for RBR850 & RBS850 please
Evening all, I saw a thread earlier year about the latest FW for these devices and parked it for a a while whilst on a trip. needless to say I've lost the email and just scanning through the thread cannot see the latest.
Possible please anyone can point to where we are FW wise please? My app says 7.2.7.15 and when I run a check it says it's all up to date.
But I know from you more knowledgeable folks on here that the app does not always reflect the releases.
If I could trouble you please for the latest status and link to the thread please that would be very helpful.
Many thaks

Be sure you update FW on any and all connected RBS first, then the RBR lastly if you choose to update:
New - Orbi RBR/RBS 850/860 and 960 series Firmware Version 7.2.7.15 Released | NETGEAR Communities
FYI, current v.15 FW has a known issue with IPv6 that is broken. So if you need IPv6 connectivity, Keep with what you have loaded or use v.21 or v.31 FW as those are last working versions that IPv6 is working.moonwatcher64 wrote:
