Orbi RBR50 bricked during update to 2.3.5.30
Router was on firmware 2.3.1.60. I downloaded the latest firmware update, 2.3.5.30, and via Ethernet cable. Router was performing the update and got stuck for a very long time. The router was unrespon...
so... what is the point to have your RBR50 updated? To my understanding, the updates are supposed to fix the problems, not to create the problems. NETGEAR should have some way to unbrick the RBR50 or a secure method to update the firmware.
I have been with NetGear since WNDR3700 to NighthawkAC1900. I never had any problems before, but RBR50. I think it is time I should try some other brands.

I agree...however another way to look at it is to NOT perform updates. NG pushes critical updates to you with no action required by the user. As sad as it may sound, those who perform manual updates that break their system can only blame who...? Of course there is another group of folks out here who love pain and encourgage others to join in and act as though they are still a part of the beta testing process. "Oh see how many system I encouraged to screw up and then help(?) fix..."
Whereas IF your system is updated by a NG push, well then at least you can't blame yourself.
At the end of the day....just leave it alone folks....if it aint broke, don't fix it.
