New v3.2.15.25 FW update seen in Orbi App Today...
Have a friend stating that he's seeing v3.2.15.25 appearing as a FW upate for the orib 850 series in the Orbi app. Anyone else? Nothing posted to the manual download site. And look wha...
I was wondering what they were going to do ... I had Armor on my RBK53 and really didn't want to drop back to BitDefender since I'm running more devices than their plan allows.
Guess I'll be staying up late to update the RBK853 ... nowdays with COVID-19 I don't dare take the network offline. It's bad enough with Comcast dropping internet so they can do their "upgrades".
Taking another look though, I see that the firmware being offered to me is 3.2.11.2 - not 3.2.15.25. Anyone know if that includes the Armor support?
I wonder if NetGear will ever update their model list on the message metadata to include the wifi 6 Orbis? ↓↓↓
3.2.11.2 is the last version posted on their website, and does not support Armor. I was on an older version than that, and did not get offered the update to 3.2.15.25 until after I had updated to 3.2.11.2 - I did the first this afternoon from downloaded firmware files, and then was quite surprised to see it autodected an additional upgrade once that was finished.
3.2.15.25 has no notes or direct download, it is only available so far if your web interface or App show a message indicating an update is available. I know it has armor, but I haven't tested armor support - the most obvious change for me was the improvements to the connected devices / device manager indications and auto detection, which is something the RBR50s have had for a while. Very glad to see that coming over, it isn't perfect but really helps to make sense of what is on your network when you have a lot of devices.
It took a few minutes to settle down (the satellites didn't show the new version number initially), but once everything was done I haven't seen any new issues on my setup - still have miscellaneous old ones though.
Cool ... I have a lot to do tonight.
First off, attempting to diagnose a Comcast outage I rebooted my CGM4140COM gateway last night and inadvertantly turned wifi back on and bridge mode off, so I need to reconfigure the modem to bridge mode to prevent any double NAT problems and remove neighborhood wifi pollution.
Then I have to upgrade the RBK853 firmware to 3.2.11.2, then to 3.2.15.25.
If I tried to do this while the family's up and streaming, things would not go well for me 😰 - COVID-19 has apparently changed internet connectivity into an essential service.
Glad your system updated to this recent version. Be sure make a new backup configuration to file for safe keeping.
Enjoy.

What version of Fw are you using currently? If your system isn't on v3.2.11.2, then upgrade the system to this version first, then reboot everything then check with the Orbi app again and see if v3.2.15.25 is avilable to you.

Interesting ... wasn't available for the first few days running 3.2.11.2, but is now.
Of course, I can't really update until tonight since the family is using the internet now 🙄.
