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...
One other thing I've been appreciating with this latest firmware version (other than getting the "Attached Devices" client connections sorted out between the router and satellite units) is that the 2.4GHz. band looks better. Even though I'd like to just turn it off, 25% tx power is okay I guess...what I'm really glad to see is that this firmware version finally is using a 20MHz. channel width instead of 40MHz. channel width. Got lots of neighbors using 2.4GHz., and I've been feeling a little guilty about taking up over half of the 2.4GHz. band, but now I'm finally down to 20MHz. Of course, probably doesn't matter a whole lot at 25% tx power, but makes me feel better *smile*.
Something else to track and see if it stays that way...
Did a manual update on my router and sat. (update did not show on admin panel or app here in Sweden)
I hade some problem to get the sat to sync with the router after the update.
And when i finnaly got i to work the sat connection showed "bad" and i hade good before and the sat is on the same spot as before and it connented on 2,4.
I left everything over night and looked back in the morning and now the connection was back on "good" over 5G again.
After the update/sync problems it has been working like a sharm for me and it is stable and all devices show up in the list on both the router and sat.
