Issues after upgrading firmware
All my WIFI devices are connecting to the router instead of the closer sattelites after new firmware update.
Sorry forgot to mention I am on 2.2.1.210 now. Also realized my SkyBell HD stopped working after update as well.
- For what it’s worth I had multiple problems after using the gui to update and currently have no problems after manually downloading the img file and using the gui to manually apply it (using the prompt to overwrite the same level). I followed the manual update with a factory reset too having tried just a factory reset on the gui update and found it didn’t fix anything.
Only thing I can see different is my WAN ping has increased from 12 to 15msec (consistent and to the same test server) from the point of upgrade. Speeds are similar but slightly lower than before - within the scope of variability of a new VDSL sync.
I have wired devices on the router but none on the satellite and use wireless backhaul with daisychain off.
It certainly looks as if my device(s) were left in a bad way by the gui autoupdate.
