Firmware update

I am running RBS50 with router and two satellites.

On the Advanced/Administration/Firmware Update page I could see that I am running V2.7.3.22 on all three devices, and that there were no new updates available. However, on the Orbi support section of the Netgear website, V2.7.4.24 is available. I downloaded it and successfully installed it on the router.

When I went to install it on the satellites, however, I got a message that the firmware is wrong for the devices.

I am a bit surprised at this - would have thought that all three should be at the same level.

Does anyone know if it is normal that router and satellite run different firmware levels?

Re: Firmware update

Apologies - I had missed out on the fact that there are two different versions for router and satellite ... please ignore this thread 🙄

Re: Firmware update

Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
