Hello everyone!!

First thank you for this work to continue improving our Orbis.

I’m having trouble with the first step. When I downgrade the RBS50 to version 2.5.2.4 I see for a few minutes that it has been made but soon it is updated to the last version (2.7.4.24).

Did you know any way to downgrade and avoid the automatic update?

Thank you very much in advance

Downgrade without having your modem plugged into the router. Then upgrade to voxel without having your modem plugged into the router. Then plug in everything once orbis are all on voxel.
 
@Voxel great work on continuing support for this model. Do you have firmware for the Orbi Pro SRK60? Netgear stopped releasing firmware updates last year? If not, can I use the RBK50 firmware you developed?
