I updated 2 days ago and have no apparent issues with performance or connectivity so that's good. I did have to reconnect my alarm system manually tho, it didn't just reconnect on its own. I have also noticed that the log no longer shows DHCP requests at all now or when a device connects via WiFi. It also doesn't seem to retain any information beyond 24 hours either.
FYI, I got word from NG that v32 has been pullfed or the 50 series Orbi systems. NG feels that there were problems they found that needs to be resolved.
I recommend users load v16. That version worked well for me at least. if you have v32 loaded and don't experience any problems, keep it loaded. IF you are experiencing problems, revert back to v16.
Any idea what the issues were / are?
No details on why it was pulled.
I did notice one thing, the RBR reported my RBS as wirelessly connected instead of wired which it was wired connected. I checked everything I could tell the connection was wired as I connected my phone to the RBS and saw data flow going thru the wired connection to the switch the RBS was connected too. The RBS showed that the wireless connection was grayed out as well. But the RBRs status page showed wireless. So I reverted back to v16 and it's now reporting correctly.

Good to know. I have to admit, I have v32 installed and for me at least, it's been rock solid. Will leave as is for now. Will be interested to know what it is that's made NG pulli it. Obviously, if it's security reasons, I'll have to reconsider keeping it.
thanks
IF it works for now. let it run. If you notice anything, concider reverting. I did see one problem with status not reporting correctly for a ethernet connected RBS. Other wise, it seemed to work ok for me. I've since downgraded back to v16.
