Orbi Firmware

Working with a RBK50 that had Firmware 2.1.1.16 when I got it. Netgear support web site has firmware 2.0.1.4 as "Current" firmware. However, the 2.1.1.18 has a file date of Jan 5, 2018 while the 2.0.1.4 has a file date of Oct 11, 2017.

File naming convention makes 2.1.1.18 the most recent and it installs and seems to work well. But the support web site is confusing the issue of "current" and there is nothing said about it being test or beta firmware.

Is someone at Netgear asleep at the switch or is there a deliberate reason the 2.1.1.18 firmware is not listed as "curent"

Re: Orbi Firmware

v.18 was reccalled apparently. 

 

If your router is working well, then let it run. Hopefully next rellease will be better versioned and make things better.

Seems like we're re-answering this question constantly.
