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...
So this morning I woke up to my Internet not working. I found my Orbi had auto-updated to firmware 2.1.2.18. I use Orbi in Router mode, as my DHCP server. After rebooting my modem & Orbi router, the WiFi came back up and I could connect to the Internet - however my wired devices can't get an IP address from the Orbi and they won't connect to the Internet. I don't know if this is in fact related to the 2.1.2.18 firmware, but the timing does imply these are related. I'm still messing with settings, trying to get my wired devices working again, so far no luck.
I'm having the same issue. I was using my wierd connection because wireless keeps dropping. Now the wired connection does not get to the internet. wireless seems to drop more since phone upgrade to android 8.1. Not sure if it is coincidental or if it is tied to the google issue. I need to work from home alot. going to switch to linksys.
