devices not connecting
Hi fellow forumers. I'm a mess! I'm sad, angry, frustrated and close to separating from my Orbi. Here is my story... For a long time my Orbi RBR50 and my two satellites have been working gre...

Enjoy. :smileywink:
Thanks for your suggestions.
I have performed a hard reset (through the reset button in the back) which gave me a clean 2.6.1.40 firmware and I started my setup from scratch, NOT by restoring a backup.
