RBR750 still on firmware V4.6.14.3, auto update doesn't work
Hi, I have a 750 with 1 satellite, just checked my firmware and its on version 4.X. Auto update is turned up but has never appeared to work. If I manually update can i go straight to the latest v...
Thanks, is there some separate password for the satellite? It doesn't accept the default 'password' or what I use to access orbilogin.com ?
The observation is correct. User control of "Auto Update" was changed in v7.2.6.21. Users who manually updated to v7.2.6.21 and set Auto Update to "on" were automatically updated to v7.2.6.31.
There is no need to manually update to v7.2.6.21 It is fine to go directly to v7.2.6.31

As always, Netgear's recommendation is to update satellites first before updating the router.
Many of us on the forum prefer to connect to the web interface of each satellite (by IP address) and select Firmware Update (bottom menu item). The router Manual Update tab should work as well. (We are sometimes superstitious.)
It is a good idea to save a copy of the system configuration before doing any firmware update.
Good Luck
