Update went well, it took a bit to settle down and my devices connected back up. The only issue I have is not being able to update the device names via the UI or the Orbi app. The first few I made worked, but then they stopped updating.

Wired or wireless? Mines currently wired though I did test my RBS which is in the basement here and it connected wirelessly to my RBR two stories up. Seems to take about 4-5 minutes to complete the task after hitting the sync button on the RBR in the UI then button on the RBS.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update on both RBR and RBS?
