They did push it. That's why I applied it.
2 methods to FW being applied:
1. They make it available - you see it when you login to your router and you make the decision to apply it.
2. They push is auto and you have no control.
Sorry but this is just wrong (and being polite)
FAQ clearly states security fixes. Vague, yes... But, I see this..I apply the build that I am prompted for.
Like this user, 2.5.0.38 is clearly broken. I had 5 drops like clockwork roughly every 30-60 minutes since applying. Did the factory reset (which I shouldn't have to do) and now I am stuck with a satelitte brick.
What is worse..I look for last build of RBR50 and find some ancient version for download ? 2.2.1.212?? This is clearly not the last build.
I had a competitor router and extenders for 5+ years prior to this and 2 things remarkably differnt from this experience for past 3: 1. They answer support ticket even outside of warranty. 2. I never received a firmware that didn't work day 1.
This has been an ongoing saga with Netgear and Orbi and I think I am done. They have lousy support and firmware updates have all been brutal outside 1. There really haven't been that many for such an expensive piece of hardware since day 1 come to think of it..
