All RBK 5 series Orbi's. FW not yet available on the download site for manual installation... Please perform a BACKUP configuration to file. Then update the RBS first then RBR lastly. Factory re...
Yes
A far warning, if you use the Access control DO NOT UPDATE as this completely messes up the device names configured. Nothing matches anymore. The names are all out of wack, got these new DEV-0x: MC:AD devices that were named. MACa addresses are right, names and IP's are wrong. So unless you want to look at all your MAC's before you disable then don't update.
I would also add....IF your system is working fine (no issues) don't perform a manual upgrade. Feel free to do a search on any updates and read the release notes. In cases like these, new is NOT always better.
You need to factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch. This should resolve issues seen with access controls.

A factory reset is necessary when you cannot recover your password....Still looking for FW issues...???
It did not. It reset everything sure, but when I go to rename my incorrectly named Echo Dots (which are all listed as fire TV...) it shows it saved and when it goes back to the screen, nope, still listed as FireTV.
The naming of devices is a known problem and NG is aware of it.
Hopefully will be fixed on next update. Users will need to be patient please.
