Having updated at the date of released. Problems:
1. No devices shown connected in the Network map.
2. FaceTime call and Skype call dropped or frozen more frequently.
I rolled the router RBR50 firmware back to 2.3.4.34AU RBS50 remains 2.5.1.8, problems mentioned seems resolved. Will keep an eye on this forum to determine when to proceed the update. BTW, the firmware update notification is shown either in the Orbi Apps or the browser login from a MacBook.
