Is there a section on the B&O website where I can check the change history and the current firmware for my Beolab 50s?

They only seem to be able to update the firmware when connected to the internet via ethernet, and they aren't connected via ethernet most of the time. It's frustrating that they can't seem to update via wifi.

I also wonder this as the BeoWiser BeoLab 50 First time setup video advices the installer to update the software first time manually via USB as the master unit will NOT update the slave unit if the firmware in the slave is lower than the master. It simply assumes that the slave has the same version as the master (which of course is a horrible design fault). 

It seems that only B&O employees can download the firmware files as it is on an internal network page. I wonder if anyone here has the firmware available for the BeoLab 50s so I can update mine over USB when I receive them in a few days. As I have decided to do installation myself.

I also read that a few people here have different version on their respective speaker sets and that means this is an issue. Perhaps B&O has resolved it though in later iterations of the firmware so that the master does actually take into account a version conflict. But I do not know.

Old: Beovision Eclipse, Beolab 1's, Beolab 2, Beovision 10-46, Overture 2300, beolab 8000's, Beolab 4000's, Beovision avant 32" etc. etc.

Are they wired or wifi? Wired will fix it, if wifi then I always had to double tap them to make the app work. But with eclipse or harmony it can also be done in the the speaker settings of the tv's menu, don't know about earlier tvs.
