Firmware 2.5.1.16
Noticed post today stating that new firmware was automatically installed and the Orbi immediately started having problems. Went to Advanced Tab, Administration, and "sure enough", my RBR50 says that...
"and is ready to update." Doesn't mean it was actually applied. I know on mine I saw the notification of the new udpate on the Home page at the top. This only means that the RBR detects a FW update, and that it hasn't applied it.
Look at the FW version loaded at the top right of the screen. IF it's still your prior version of FW, then the update hasn't been applied, it's just letting you know there is an update available and it's up to you to update to it. You'll have to select OK to update the system.
FYI, My 50 series is running v16 currently in AP mode. No problems seen thus far.
