- Was able to perform a Manual Update of my Orbi RBS50 Satellite Firmware to v2.7.2.104. YAY!!!
When I attempt the same process with the RBR50 Router:
- I get the message that v2.7.2.104.img is the wrong file.
- Same message with v2.6.1.40.img AND v2.7.2.104.img
- When I check the firmware version on the Netgear site, it tells me that my RBR50 Firmware is v1.4.0.34 AND that there is "...no update available". This is not true because I have downloaded the RBR v2.7.2.104.img file to my Desktop which corresponds with the successful Firmware Upgrade of my RBS50 Satellite to v2.7.2.104
- My apps have never allowed me to update the firmware despite repeated messages to do so over the course of two years.
I need to update the router firmware. Please help...

Ok...I had to go through about 7 firmware update .img files starting with the one closest to the version I with which I purchased the router.
Once I got to v2.3...I was able to skip to the current 2.7...version.
All done! Thank you for your help.

Wow thats an out of date device.
Try installing version 2.2.1.212
RBR50 / RBS50 Firmware Version 2.2.1.212 | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Then you can go to 2.3.0.32

Thank you for your response. Must I upgrade step by step versions until I get to the 2.7...104 or can I skip a few after the 2.3...that you suggest?
Again...thank you.

You'll be able to skip. (not sure at exactly what point without looking it up)
there was a change in there needed to enlarge the partitioning for the increasing firmware size.
