Orbi RBR50 Router Firmware Version V2.7.2.102
A new Router Firmware Version V2.7.2.102 installed automatically during the night. So far so good!
Is true, once I had v60 on my RBR50, v102 appear as an available download in the RBRs FW update web page. Others reported seeing this as well:
ALL avialble FW versions are on NG download site for manual download and manual update as well. Up to users to upate or not.
Enjoy. :smileywink:

Yeah, I had to manually update to get to v60 (probably not going manually update again) and only after manually updating to v60 was I offered v102.
Thank you.
...and there lies the problem....a manual update is required to receive or be offered the 'next' auto-weblogin update.
This sends mixed messages to users for we have seen numerous cases where manual updates cause numerous problems.
A consolation for those of us who ran the gauntlet and updated manually to 2.6.1.40 or 2.7.1.60 and to 2.7.2.102, these fix some serious (by Netgear's own admission) security issues: (BTW, 2.6.1.40 and 2.7.2.102 seem to be worldwide release now.. the restriction to the US is missing on the download site).

Thanks.....and yet there are flaws in the way they disburse these updates. I can't help to think back to when ALL updates were pushed and how people cryed and wanted choice. Thank you too!
