RBR850 (RBK850) not showing that there are updates when there are on the website
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.
For the AX series NG doesn't have anything up on there AU system so ya, your system won't see anything while using AU. Doesn't mean the system isn't working. That's just the current conditions and results. Also historically NG would push FW updates and break users systems. So NG has become less pushy and leaving it up to the users to update there systems. Only if something major is needed would be seen up for being pushed.
If something is more resent then what you have on there download site, you can, of your choice, to update manually.
