New RBK50/53 Series Firmware Version 2.7.3.22
Bug Fixes: Fixes the DNS query failure issue that occurs when traffic meter and daylight saving are enabled Security Fixes: This firmware addresses security vulnerabilities. For more informatio...
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
Looks like the DNS issue is not fully fixed in this one. With traffic meter on I was getting random DNS drop outs just like the original daylight savings/traffic meter issue. I turned off traffic meter and rebooted. I got one more DNS drop out after that, but so far stable since. If it continues opperating I'll leave traffic meter off and wait for the next fix, otherwise I'll probably revert to the previous version.
I'm noticing a lot of issues with gaming through ethernet and on my phone. I get these massive lag spikes and sometimes the game will fail to load. All of my phone apps seem to be struggling to load and my tv has similar issues with the youtube app. I'll give it one more day and then I'm rolling it back to the older firmware I've been using if it keeps up.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

Any progress on this?
