I recently purchased the Netgear ORBI RBK50 from Verizon, to use in conjunction with my FiOS Quantum Gateway (in AP mode). I wanted to take advantage of Netgear's "Circle with Disney" parental control (Android) app. I installed the app, but the app indicated that i need to upgrade the ORBI firmware before I could use it (my ORBI f/w version is V2.0.1.4_1.0.0.6). Netgear forum users say there is a firmware upgrade available for manual download on their site, but to NOT use it, because Verizon likes to tweak all such updates, and push them out. (I also logged into my ORBI router and under the "Advanced" tab clicked on Firmware Update... Status came back as "Service Unreachable." Thanks, Verizon.) Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation, and how did you resolve it? I don't have a lot of faith in Verizon posting timely updates!
