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...
Firmware 2.5.1.16
I just update my firmware to 2.5.1.16 from 2.5.1.8 last week. I notice all wireless device having frequent loss internet/wireless connection. After 5 days trial new firmware, I decide to rollback firmware to 2.5.1.8 for both router and satellites. Kindly advice me any solution on frequent internet/wireless disconnect issue.
Thank You

Try a factory reset on the RBR and RBS and setup from scratch after manually loading v16. I recommend manual download of the FW files, apply the RBS first then RBR lastly.
Factory reset and walk thru the setup wizard.

Can I do following method, I reset RBR50 => Update firmware for both Router and Satelllite => Restore backup setting.
Please advise. Reset RBR50 is the last choise for me.
I'm having the same issues. Constant wifi dropping since the new update. I think I will try to roll back too. I only upgraded because circle was broken, but its not worth this hassle.
- I already reset my RBR50 and RBS50. Update RBS50 frimware to 2.5.1.16 and update firmware RBR50 to 2.5.1.16. Then restore all parameter and off/on router and connect to Internet. All done. Under monitoring wifi conection loss.
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, Circle, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
