Has OBi changed their policy?
My guess is it was "pushed" by Obihai because it was needed to enable the new OBi Notify feature/option.

That policy may have only applied to the 10x series (even if it's not official). My OBi200 has continued to get yellow triangle notifications which allowed updating, even when it wasn't connected (I was using my OBi100 at the time) and even though it's been out of warranty for about 1 1/2 years. The policy definitely applied to the 10x series since I had to update my OBi100 manually to 2886.

This evening I updated my OBi202 to the 5463EX firmware. ?
Is this 5463EX firmware also for the Obi200 model?
I have the Obi200, it says it is Build 5264. Dialing ***6 states there is no update available. On the Dashboard it states there is an update available.
So, having Build 5264, it now says that Build 5285 is the latest firmware, but when I attempt to install it the update doesn't install. Does the computer have to be physically attached to the Obi200 in order to update? I can access the information for it wirelessly from its IP address, it gives the option to update, then it says it updates, and then it says Build 5264.
And now, is it really Build 5285 as the latest for the Obi200, or is it 5463EX?
And also, why is it an "EX" build, is that "experimental" and it really won't work? How have others here managed to get it installed and working as intended?
I don't understand why there is only the way to look it up if somebody posts a link to somewhere, instead of an official Obihai list. I don't really need to know what was changed, I just need to know that the Build software has been updated.

"EX" stands for "EXtra special super good".
Seriously, it probably means that the build includes support for OBi EXTRAS.
Obihai doesn't devote any resources to documenting their firmware releases on this forum. Also, the firmware offered via the ***6 IVR method is often older than the firmware offered via their OBiTALK web portal.
If you can just accept this sloppy firmware management, then I can tell you that:
5463EX is the latest production firmware build as of today.It is the correct firmware for OBi 200 and 202 models, which use the same firmware builds.You can click the yellow triangle on the portal to install it.After upgrading to this version, if you use the ***6 method, it might offer to install an older build, so don't do that.This is a long-standing issue/complaint, but you are just seeing it now as a new user. Those of us here on the forum have "lived with it" for years, and it isn't likely to improve.
