Oh, man, one step forward two steps back. anyone reading this I would advice against upgrading to this firmware as I cannot get the satellites to show me that they are connecting to any devices. Instead, every device shows as connected to the router. Definitely a bug and there are reports from other people that it's not just the display but that the satellites just dont work correctly with this firmware.
that's the same problem here, going back to 76 beta later today that worked perfectly for me just wanted to test the last firmware a little. but a bit frustrating and not seeing all devices and everyone is connected to router,there is i Big bug here.
Our devices are connected to Router and Satellite 1 depending the location in the house. So just saying that this firmware does not block this entirely because it's working correcly in our house. Only downside I noticed is that most of the devices are shown as Unknown but sometimes they have their names on the list. But main point is that network is fast enough, it's rock solid (and both router and satellite connection works as should). So this kind of experience here about this firmware.
Spadde, how did you do the upgrade? Anything special? On previous firmware everything was working correctly for me, now all of a sudden, it's not. Are you sure that you can see devices in the device list that clearly say attached to satellite instead of router?
Hi aaz, nothing special. I first updated satellite and then router. After I just restarted the devices and that's it.
I do rely what the Orbi android sotware says about where these devices are connected. Because it clearly states that are these devices connected to router or satellite 1 when you press the info button from the device list for specific device. And example with my phone this connection changes depending which part of the house I'm located.
