Factory Reset "not the same"
After updating the RBR50 to 2.7.2.104, I had been annoyed that three of my devices that were connected and working did not show up as "Attached Devices" and decided to save the configuration, do a Fa...
Just curious, your back up configuration, was it generated after a FW loaded and continue from last FW or was it generated after a full factory reset and setup from scratch?
I don't recall seeing a option to load a saved configuration to file after doing a reset. Though most of my resets are to select the setup wizard. Last time I did a reset on my RBK50, I believe i walked thru the set up wizard as I was trying to establish if Circle was being reported in v104. I did not see any offer to load up a saved cofiguration from file. Most of the time I get the check for RBS, I skip this here, then it checks for FW updates, then after this, it does send me to the registration page. This has mostly been seen on mine ever time i reset mine. I just go back to the root router page and continue to configure the RBR from here.
Possible NG may have changed this behavior.

I had simply updated the router to 2.7.2.102, which immediately offered to update to 2.7.2.104. No factory reset. As I said, it is not a surprise that 'saving' that configuration wasn't optimal.

I had not done a factory reset for months and months. My memory is not perfect, but that "continue with setup or load a saved configuration" was definite, and absolutely not available this time. I also remember that doing a factory reset required that I log into the web interface with "admin", "password" which no longer happens.
Hmm, well everytime i've reset my RBR, i've been always met with the web page that posts pictures about downloading and using Orbi app to set up the RBR, then down at the bottom in little text size is the select here if you don't have a mobile device to setup which is what I use. I've never been met with a default log in after a reset.
Wondering if there is a different between orbilogin.com and 192.168.1.1 <which is what I use mostly when setting up Orbi...
