Orbi RBR50 Router Firmware Version V2.7.2.102

I stay spooked and my system continues to haunt the firmware advocates in here 

Ya haven't seen anyone post any feed back about v102. I won't be able to fully test mine out for a bit longer. Working on something else currently. :smileywink:

I'll give it another week or 2 and then go to the latest version manually.  I can always downgrade to my current version if needed.  Not getting security fixes spooks me.

 

Hopefully, NG will make 2.7.2.102 available for download.

 

 So far, I don't see many complaints about the 2.7.2.102.

Test?

so you do work for Netgear 

Aren't we all testing these things all the time?

I'm not.

Gave that up years ago.  IMHO the 'average' user here should not be considered a test bed for any firmware advancement.

I'm not noticing any performance issues but my admin web page for the router shows my RBS50 satellite as "disconnected", which I know it isn't.  In my iOS Orbi app it shows it connected and functioning.  Also on the Firmware Update page of the web interface it keeps trying to update the RBS50 but fails.

What version of FW is on the RBS Currently?

Speed test results with v102 loaded on a RBK50 System in AP mode. RBS ethernet connected behind two LAN switches.

Wired to RBR:

Iphone 12 Max connected to RBS:

Where/how did you get the ver 2.7.2.102?

Are these results different than with previous versions?

Manually applied V2.7.1.60 then found v102 available to update to on the RBR and RBS. 

About the same. I'll be trying router mode as well.

RBS50 is running V2.7.1.60 same as what the RBR50 was on before the forced firmware update to V2.7.2.10

I found that v102 was offered for both RBR and RBS on the RBRs FW upate check web page. How I updated mine. Update All. 

RBK50 online in router mode with v102 loaded behind a CM1200 cable modem:

RBS50 ethernet connected behind 3 NG GS series non managed switches. Small ARP storm seen when RBS was syncing then it stopped. Network is stable and working. 

For users with a 50 series and a RBS20, be sure to upate the RBS20s FW. Mine connected via ethernet but the radios were disabled, so I updated the RBS FW since it was a few behind. Up and running now:

vajimyou are and will forever even be a Beta Tester for Air it is constantly tested and monitored for your welfare. If it's faulty you are in danger. Then you'll be a Beta Tester for the PharmaBioMedical industrial complex.

We all are BTs on everything we buy. Especially these days. I just got a Firmware update on my Microwave and Mashing Machine. They talk to eachother. If they waited until the products we're "Perfect with No Need for Refinement", there'd never be anything new out. None fo the manufacturers could be sure that their products are ready for release . . .

"The Consumer is the Worlds Beta Tester!"

Wired. 

Ever since NG released v4 and follow on versions, these ARP storms are now present after any RBS are connected via ethernet behind a switch to the RBR. Something not seen on v16. Though up to before v102, the ARP storm didn't seem to stop, now after about a minute or two, the storm stops and the network settles in and right now, still working just fine with the two RBS ethernet conneted.

Not sure what your point is. I understand how firmware releases are supposed to work 

My position is IF your system is working fine , why go beta testing it.  And I don't want to hear anymore about security issues and all that bs    Too many people in here can't leave well enough alone. 

instead of monkeying with your system go take out the trash.   

instead of going after poor souls like myself ,   band with others in here that share your views.  They're everywhere 

out.

Wondering why you consider security issues as "BS". 

Is your problem with the way NG deals with security issues? Or are you against fixing security issues in general?

Do you not apply Windows Updates either?

Admttedly, some are more serious than others.  But security holes should be fixed by the manufacturers and users.

Go away.    Talk to furry.  

I seem to be having significant issues post firmware update.  I got a notification that security updates were available, so I installed them thinking it would be fine.  Now my RBR50 shows up as offline and my internet connection for wireless is dropping regularly.  This impacts my cellphone, chromecasts, smart lightbulbs, and security cameras.  I have rebooted the router a few times, rebooted/reset the modem, etc.  I'm not sure what is causing the issue but it is really frustrating.  Right now the app shows internet is offline but I'm writing this post on my laptop via wifi.  This is very strange. I have also been getting some credential issue notifications while using wifi on my devices.  

Have been running 102 for several days without any issues

Same here; seems fairly solid but then I have been running ALL of the firmware updates for well over 3 years without any issues.
