New Orbi RBR50/RBS50 Firmware Version 2.3.1.44
Netgear is pushing out yet another a new Orbi firmware update.
Hopefully it's better than the last version v32.
Please share your experience.
Firmware Update
...
Will do, thank you, its just i did the re-upgrade and upgrade remotely from work, so couldn't actually do a reset yet.
besides, i want to see if there actually is anything else odd before i do that. in particular i want to see if the wifi range is as good as .210 or as bad as .32
Will reset if need be and check.
shall let you all know my findings if anythign worth reporting.
I got the 2.3.1.44 update pushed to my router, but the satellites are still on the .32 version and showing the config sync status. Is there a link where I can find the firmware update for the RBS50 to the 2.3.1.44 version?
Or will it update automatically if I factory resent?
Thanks
Was auto-updated during the night...despite having disabled that from the CLI. The .32 must have re-enabled it (I checked via CLI, and sure enough...it was enabled) I was only .32 for a day so not really ready to compare. I did have to power cycle the routers after each update to get the backhaul to stabilize on 5G.
The IOT "Fix" is very compelling/curious to me... I wonder if there are any other "new" configuration items.
I am at work now, but will check to see if my RBR50 and 3 x RBS50s that were at .32 got upgraded.
Will also check the GUI for both the router and satellite to see if there are any new options.
-Auto updated V2.3.1.44.
- No issues all working well.
-I only noticed when it logged in to check on things as I tend to do from time to time.
If your Satelliete is showing "Waiting for connection" with an old firmware version, login into your Satellite to confirm that it's still stuck with the old version. Once that's confirm, go back to the Router Firmware Update page and click "Manual Update" tab and then click "Online Update" tab. Flipping between these two tabs/pages will force all your Router/Satellites to refresh/recheck.
"Waiting for connection" happens because the Router/Satelliete back haul is stuck in 'Config Resync/Good' cycles, likely as a result of weaker WiFi signal in these newer firmwares since v210. v210 doesn't suffer from this problem.
I have to click these tabs a few cycles, (yeah, it's crazy), in order to catch it in a small window where the Satellites are able to established a "Good" back haul connection to the Router so that they could do their checks and pull the new firmware version.
That's how I got my Satellites to update properly. YMMV.
