Versions are in original post, and are current for both units. Issue began with latest update to RBS20; it doesn't want to auto-connect after a power fail: sync has to happen. I have reset the RBS20 to factory, no change in behavior. Oddly, the "connection state" of the RBS20 is intermittent. Sometimes the CBR40 shows it as connected, sometime disconnected. This correlates to the other "connected devices" issues this set has that remains unsolved. What's worse, is I have network isolation enabled but I can see everything that connects to the wifi from any other device - yet the Orbi can't see every device... go figure.
So far, I am really unimpressed with the reliability of this set. I'm not doing anything that unusual yet the instability, especially after a simple firmware update, is the worst I have experienced in many years of building networks (including admin level work).

Down grade the FW on the RBS back to prior working version.
I hadn't seen any issues with mine however I haven't tested the latest FW yet.
