New - NetGear Orbi Firmware Version 2.3.0.32 now available...
FW 2.3.0.32 is now available on our support site :
https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBK50.aspx#download
RBR/RBS 50 Series Only.
To manually update the firmware, there is a need to ...
Updated from 2.2.1.210 to 2.3.0.32 and now have issues. I purchased the RBK53 Costco pack (1-RBR50/2-RBS50s) a couple years back and have NOT have any issues with ANY firmware versions till now. I separated the 2.4 and 5ghz SSIDs as per instructions from another thread since the beginning.
I went through the manual firmware upgrade procedure from V1.210 and installed V0.32 (thru 2.2.1.212) without issue (satellites first, then base unit). The RBR50 is in Router Mode.
1: Traffic Meter no longer is complying statistics.
2: The IOS App incorrectly shows the network map. I’m configured as a STAR, but the app bounces between STAR and Daisy-Chain topology.
3: The WEB GUI | ATTACHED DEVICES | CONNECTED SATELLITES | Bounces between “GOOD” and “Conifg Sync” status all the time.
4: Internet connectivity drops multiple times a day. Never happened with previous firmware versions.
5: After rebooting the Orbis. It usually 2-3 days for all the IP devices (24) to “settle –in” as I call it, where wireless devices attach to either Router or Satellite based on distance/proximity. This has been disrupted with V0.32. It was stable before but no longer. Some IP devices jump from one Orbi to another like never before.
Anyone else experiencing anything similar?
We haven't seen or heard of others with these issues.
Possible separation of SSIDs is causing problems. It's not supported officially.
I would do a factory reset ON the entire system and setup from scratch. Walk thru the setup wizard and get it all going again. I recommend this time, do not separate the SSIDs. Leave single SSID and let it run for a bit. Factory reset has been known to clear up problems seen after a auto/FW update.
Satelites wired or wireless connected to the base ?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Disable Daisy Chain temporarily after setting up from scratch and check status and behavior.
