RBS750 vs PSV-2020-0432
re: https://kb.netgear.com/000062820/Security-Advisory-for-Stack-based-Buffer-Overflow-Remote-Code-Execution-Vulnerability-on-Some-Routers-PSV-2020-0432 That latest 2021/01/21 Security bulletin s...
CBK752 Kit returned for full refund. Problem solved.
The RBS750 model is used with the CBK750 and the RBR750 kits. There the same RBS models
Then why are there THREE 'latest firmware' releases? And which one is really the latest?
My RBS750 satellite has V3.2.16.22 installed and reports this is the latest available.
The Orbi CBK752 page shows a latest RBS750 (Orbi Satellite) Firmware Version 3.2.16.6 (older than installed?).
The Security notice says the RBS750 is vulnerable if the RBS750 is running firmware versions prior to 3.2.17.12.
So where do I get V3.2.17.12 ???
And - if I download the version you link for the standalone RBS750, the update fails because the file is for the wrong version of RBS750. I must use the CBK752 download page to get the correct version for my RBS750 from
https://www.netgear.com/support/product/cbk752.aspx#download
I'm thinking Netgear has no web master to maintain order, and teams change pages willy-nilly... lol.
ps: if I log into the RBS750 via the CBR750 and try using the system firmware updater, it fails: if I direct connect to the RBS750 with a cable, it will accept the 3.2.17.12 version found above. So even their mesh updater is broken.
pps: Now, I wonder when they plan to update the CBR750 to fix the vulnerability. It has the same basics as the RBR750, only with a cable modem stuck on the WAN side of the router.

There is noting in the notes saying you can't use this with the CBK system.
Same goes for the RBS20:

I have updated mine from my CBK40 system and it works both on CBK40 and RBK50 systems.
When trying that update, the RBS says the file is not compatible ... so I gave up. I'm playing with the CBK752 kit now, and finding it is just as annoying ... and being told in support chat the only way to disable or reenable remote access is using the Orbi App; even though the entire point is to disable management of the router via web and wifi.
ps: here's part of the chat exchange I am in right now:

Router CBR750 CBR750 V3.2.16.18 No New Firmware AvailableFor now - let's ignore the fact my router is vulnerable. I want to discuss how to disable remote management (web side and wifi).

MeToo funny - did you read my post? I already have 3.2.16.18 installed. I do not need 3.2.16.9
Ok, maybe NG has put a limiation on the RBS that come with the CBK system vs the RBK system. I know my RBS20 from my CBK40 is working with most recent FW.
Ya 1st line support has never been great and working deeper beyond there scripts. Ask them for escalated or level 3 support. This needs to be addressed by someone who can respond with better information.
