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 have the RBK50 (RBR50 + RBS50) and have been suffering with intermittent reboots for months. The .18 firmware has not helped, I get anywhere from a few hours, to one-three days before my WiFi drops and I see that my router is rebooting on its own. Incredibly frustrated. I am still within the one-year hardware warranty but no longer within the 90-day support window, so apparently this community is my only option and there are no answers from Netgear here.
This is an interesting scenario. I had the same issues with the new update and at the same time I was having a problem with my fios router; it would reset to default. I contacted fios and they sent me a new router and now everything works, with 2.1.2.18. I wonder if somehow the orbi update affected the fios router.
