Orbi RBR50 2.5.0.38 firmare bug
Attached devices list has bogus device name etc. info and can no longer be edited. Althought the edit device name screen appears no changes ever get applied after pushing apply button.
Version 2.5.0.40 fixes fo the problem for me.
I got an email informing me that new firmware is currently undergoing "DQA testing" and if it qualifies it should be officially released next week.
I'm not holding my breath that it will fix the recent issues we all have been experiencing.
If it doesn't I'll be on to their CEO and CTO yet again asking them what sort of incompetence is going on within Netgear...
*That should be "SQA testing" not "DQA testing".
Since foolishly updating from 2.3.5.x to 2.5.0.40, my RBR has started crashing/becoming unavailable every few days. How can I downgrade back to 2.3.5.x which worked basically fine? (slightly less pretty around device icons, but I didn't notice any other changes).
Did you factory reset the RBR after applying v40? Mine never saw this crashing after I applied v40.
You can downgrade to v34 if you want too. Just manually download the FW files and apply. I recommend factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch after applying v34 to ensure it's installed correctly.
