New Orbi firmware 2.1.2.18 update issues?
I noticed that there was a new firmware version 2.1.2.18 for Orbi RBK50. Has anyone installed this version, and has there been any issues after the installation. Please provide any details that you...
Upgrade went off without a hitch. No reboots and no interruptions so far.
Fixed an annoying issue where things were refusing to connect to the RBS even though only 10' away and were instead connecting to RBR a floor and 80' away.

Give it a bit of time to settle things down... When ever I do a reboot, my devices swarm to the router (since it boots up first), and the 2.4 network (since it seems to initailly have the most reach), but after a few hours or so, I find that things eventually re-sort and settle down on their own to the appropriate place they should be (router vs sat, and 2.4 vs 5).
Agreed. I just want the control to force devices not to connect to 2.4.
This update has been much better about auto-sorting things out though.
