Why does my router show Firmware version 4.20.0.4_3.100.71
Why does my router show
Firmware version 4.20.0.4_3.100.71, and when trying to update to this version it says the firmware already installed is newer (i have an orbi R350)

Totally insane. The Administration, Firmware Update menu shows what model number?

RBR 350, do you think it's possible to install the "newer" version and have the fixes?

I am totally confused. The router screen shot says that it is running V4.20.4.2, dated 3/4/2022 which is also the only version of firmware shown for this "New Zealand" model.
The latest firmware for the ordinary RBR350 is v 4.4.1.29, dated 8/9/2022 and there are several firmware versions previous to that.
Since there is a mention of "R-NZ" on the product label, I really wonder what the hell this thing is. Who sold it to you?

It was provided by my isp, the box was sealed as well

FYI,
Some ISPs do there own development of FW on name branded router systems. In some cases, NG makes a custom or specific version of FW for there products for ISP needs, use or and services which is only specific to the ISP and customers use this ISP. So standard Orbi FW will not work and requires the specific version seen on this model Orbi system when in use and connected to this ISP service. This is normal practice in some of the cases.
