OrbiOS 2.1.4 availability
A quick update. We're about to release an updated version of OrbiOS 2.1.4 in the next few days through our auto-update mechanism for all Orbi models. When it goes live, you should see a prompt in t...
They probably haven't had a change to get all product lines up to the same level as of yet.
Latest version for the RBW30 is here:

Can be manually downloaded and manually installed if needed.

Considering Netgear themselves recommend having router and satellite on the same version of firmware, is there any reason why they've auto updated my RBR40, but then there's no auto update for my RBW30 meaning they are now on different firmware versions which apparently according to Netgear, isn't recommended?
I tried my RBR50 on latest firmware 2.1.4.x and the RBW30’s on 2.1.3.6 and it didn’t like it at all so switched them off until a new firmware was available but then gave up completely and purchased Google Wifi, only 2 days in and already notice more stability and a better system. Naturally need to give it more time before fully committing but considering the 16 months of pain with Netgear even having 2 days of hassle free WiFi across all my mix of devices has been awesome.
I purchased the google wifi 3-Pack a month ago and it has been ROCK SOLID (zero drops) and blazing fast. Very reliable system that doesn’t get enough recognition but the Amazon/Best Buy reviews of th product had me sold.
Hopefully NG will release the 30 series FW soon. Keep an eye out.

Firmware on the 30's have never been the same on the 40's or 50's. The latest firmware for 30's is 2.1.3.6 I believe, which updated a couple of days before the 40's updated to 2.1.4.10. Since there is no wired backhaul involved if one or more of your satellites are 30's, they would not take the exact same firmware as the 40's or 50's.
