Netgear email says there's a firmware update for my Orbi RBR40 and RBS20, but it doesn't show up

Question

So I got an email about a firmware update from Netgear. I'm on 2.5.1.22 for the RBR40 and 2.5.1.16 for the two RBS20's I have. Checked for an update in the Orbi app and it says I'm up to date. Logged into the admin interface on my computer and checked for updates, it says it's up to date. But when I go to the Downloads section for my hardware, it clearly says that 2.6.1.36 is available for both.

So what's the issue? Is there a v1, v2, etc for this model and this new firmware doens't apply to it or what? I tried rebooting the Orbi system as well and it's not working that way either.

It usually must means the update was pushed out to the manual update server first.

You can manually update if you're having issues but if everythings working great, I'd wait on the auto-update to be pushed out.

So, it's been 5 days since I got that email and the auto update function still says "no new firmware available." &nbsp;How long does Netgear generally take between releasing an update before auto-update will see it?

It varies. There's not set time that I've found

Still not seeing it in the app. Anyone else having this issue?

If its bothering you, you can just do the manual update.&nbsp;
