Update from me on this firmware. After using sometime I was getting rpoblems with wired devices. These devices did no longer get connection. Power cycle of the (non managed) switch resolved the issue. Howerv it returned then suddenly I noticed that my Andorid S10 phone (latest firmware) did no longer get good connection to the Wifi (no internet and no data).
Switching off router and satellites did only fix it for a few minutes and then issues start re-occuring. Other HW also wired connected did not get any internet anymore.
Full reset of the system (by using the reset button on the back) and then restore fixed everything anf the system is working again. It looks like it corrupted somewhere.
Another great experience of Orbi. I decided to purchase another system and will sell this. Too many issues
I installed the update yesterday. Installation went fine on the router and satellite. A couple minutes after installation the Internet went offline. The web admin showed internet not connected. It came back after a few minutes. Then about 30 minutes later it did it again. This time I did a full power off of the modem, router, and satellite and then brought them up one at a time. So far all has worked well since that.
Yes a good power OFF of the Orbi system and ISP modem is needed after a FW update.
