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
Hi,
I've tried twice to update my RBR50 using this latest firmware 2.7.3.22 two days ago. I got no problem on the updating process. But i got serius problem after the update process is done. Suddently the WAN port is not working... or being disable... i don't know why. Even after i reboot the router a few time, the result is still the same. I've try using the automatic update and manual update. Both way give me the same result. So i revert back to firmware 2.7.2.104 .... everything is back to normal.
Connection:
ISP -> Manage Switch -> Orbi RBR 50 -> Orbi RBS 50
- Orbi Router only do PPPoE and PPPoE IPv6.
- No Vlan setting enable on my Orbi 50 as the manage switch already done the job.
Next time try powering OFF both RBR and this managed switch for 30 seconds then back ON after a FW update.
Is there a modem or ONT in front of this switch?
Is the RBR in router mode or AP mode in this configuration? Most standard configurations, the RBR in rotuer mode is connected directly to the ISP modem or ONT and any switches are connected after the RBR.
I'm on v22 and my RBR50 running fine, Mines connected directly to my cable modem.

Thank you for the suggestion. I've try turning off the whole netwok for 5 minutes and then turun it back on. The WAN port is up but the connection is slow. i only got half of my subscribe internet bandwidth on the speed test and the WAN connection is not stable. It also affecting my wifi network clients especially my single band wifi 4 client keep disconnecting from the wifi. Right now reverting back to firmware v2.7.2.104 is my only solution.
