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
Dropouts continued so I've reverteted to 2.7.2.104. Then had one more drop out after that. If it happens again I suppose I'll need to try a factory reset as reverting is not a normal thing and may need that to fully drop back. About to pull the trigger on a WiFi 6e mesh system so won;t have to mess with this for much longer.
Did you factory reset and setup from scratch been performed after the FW update?

I don't know why but my Orbi auto updated to 2.7.3.22 overnight. I didn't see it until I was troubleshooting a problem with my Synology NAS and the UPS connection and saw that the Orbi restarted about 3:45 this morning (about 10 hours ago). I can't find a setting to disable the auto update feature but I thought I had it disabled previously. It seems okay right now so I'll leave it until I see a problem and then reevaluate. We will see what happens!
Ok. Seems that NG is starting to auto push FW since this first appeared.
Id do a backup configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
If you run into anything you can do a reset and reload.
I would power OFF the ISP modem, RBR and RBS for 1 minute then back ON with the modem, then RBR then RBS in mean time.
Orbi doesn't offer options to disable auto updates.

Well I pulled the trigger and ordered a WiFi 6e mesh from another company. The Orbi is still doing drop outs and I'll probably just put up with it until the new system arrives rather than go through the work of factory reseting and configuring from scratch.
I'm probably just buying into a new set of issues as a newly released router tends to have some bugs.
