Firmware not updating on NetGear web site or via smart phone
Unable to update firmware from the website or from my smart phone. This system is equipped with Satellite RBW30. On the Smart phone i am seeing CHECK FIRMWARE Error and on the ORBI site i get an indi...
Manual update requires that the zip file be "unpacked" to extract the actual firmware image, which in the case of the RBW30 has a file extension of chk. It is not clear from the post if that step was done.
Someone inside Netgear did not get the memo about *.img files and created the RBS30 satellite with *.chk firmware files.
I believe the way to handle this is to connect directly to the RBW30 satellite's web page by using the IP address of the satellite, and then select the menu item Firmware Update.
* of course, there was no 'memo'. it's just crazy and stupid.
Thanks CrimpOn, i download the IP address for the Satelite RBW30 but i don't see a tab for for firmware update?
