RBR850 (RBK850) not showing that there are updates when there are on the website

Auto updates is only used for certain major FW versions or certain time frames during the life of the project. Minor changes are not sent via AU. So if you don't see anything on the system or from the system giving notice of something new, then users can check the download site for new stuff and choose to manually install something:

Hi my RBR850 router and one satellite does not show any firmware updates available but when i checked the download site there are. 

 

Does anyone know why updates are not being shown?

Thank you. So I have confirmed that:

• Automatic updates are enabled but obviously didn't work because from the router and satellite's perspective there was no update.
• The "check" for new versions did not show any new versions and apparently according to Netgear that "happens sometimes". Note I do do this check regularly.

The outcome is that you do have to manually check for updates.

NB it is my own router and not related to an ISP. I primarily configure it as an access point anyway because the router function was troublesome when you already had an ISP provided router.
