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've been pretty happy with the Orbi until now. However, my router unit has now lost sync twice in the last 3 or 4 days on the latest firmware. Going back to the previous firmware and see if happens with that release. I don't recall this happening with 2.1.1.16...I can live with the other web admin GUI peculiarities of 2.1.1.16, but when the router loses sync, I lose my internet. That's not good. If I can flash back to 2.1.1.16, and no more loss of sync, and I don't get auto-flashed back to 2.1.2.18, I'll be much happier.
We'll see.

Been a couple of days now...Orbi with 2.1.1.16 has been well-behaved, aside from the web admin GUI "Attached Devices" problem (not a big thing for me). No loss of sync, and no auto-flash back to the latest firmware.
Also replaced a couple of old iPads with new iPad Pro's, no new problems as a result of that. Although I realize that the clients that are apparently causing the most problems are Google devices, it's always good to keep an eye on things when one puts newer, faster devices on one's network *smile*.
Doing well at this point.
