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...

I just logged into the Orbi app on my iPad and after poking around noticed this:
RBR = 2.1.2.18
RBS = 2.1.1.16
I haven’t touched anything since unboxing and installing the Orbi & satellite in November, and I didn’t change any settings at that time — just plugged them in.
Do I need to have the same version on both?
Is the something I need to do to update this or will it do it on its own?
Thanks.

Yes you need to get your satellite on the .18 firmware log into your orbi unit and check for firmware and update all units to the latest firmware.
