New Firmware 2.3.5.30
Just updated my Orbi to 2.3.5.30. Seems stable so far. I see few "ads" for the Orbi app and links for app download in the web GUI. Otherwise I could not see much more new things. I'm keeping to loo...
Just updated a RBK50 system via autoupdate and select update all. Upgrade smooth.
No config sync seen. GOOD is the status of the RBS connected via wireless.
I'll be posting some WAN to LAN speed results soon:
Automatic update worked for me. Was not as speedy as I had expected, but smooth. Seems to be working OK.
One change I had not expected. The Attached Devices page had an announcement at the top that Access Control is turned on and new devices are blocked from connecting. This was not how I had it configured before the update. Would have been a lot of head-scratching if this had updated silently and I unboxed a new device. Oh, yes. No more "silent updates". But still, I would have expected the update to keep Access Control settings as they were. It kept most of my device tables the way they were, but it changed two smart switches from Allowed to Blocked.
what mode are you running in?? is it AP or Router? I don't see the access control section you are speaking of, I have a ton of smart switches and devices and this will be a huge problem for me if it's on..
Sorry for the scare. Access Control only applies to router mode. In AP mode, the Orbi simply passes packets back and forth.
