This afternoon I noticed a new version of firmware had been installed on my RBR850 as well as the RBS850. I was on the road when I had ran the Orbi app and noticed the router was "red" although I could see all network activity, diagram, etc. It was probably red as it was installing the new firmware. I think that firmware was fielded today... but wanted to see if everyone else's had auto-installed. I thought Netgear was getting away from that technique, but maybe I am wrong. After refreshing the app, the red turned green and I didnt see any issues. System seems stable but since there are no posts here about it, figured this would be the first to get the discussion started. So far, so good.

Hi, All, Here's the link to download RBK852 firmware v3.2.8.5_1.2.3 The said firmware will be posted on our support site. Regards, Blanca Community Team

I installed mine manually. NG is still auto pushing, however only for major versions of FW. This seems to be a major version. Minor versions will be seen on the RBRs FW update web page as being available to install, however it will be up to the user to install it or not.

Mine was automatic, however Orbi iPhone app not working. I have done everything except factory reset.

I have noticed some very subtle differences in the Orbi App since this push. The network map looks slightly different... and the network elements are in a different order than they have ever showed in.

Can I ask where you got the link to the V3.2.8.5_1.2.3 firmware? I can't find it on the support page, and when mine attempts to download it, it just fails. thanks-Dan

    v123 hasn't been posted yet for some reason. I've asked about it. I presume v123 was posted for a short period maybe and only meant for a few users. I presume NG will be forth coming soon with the official release and post it up on the download site.
    
    What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
