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
After upgrading to this firmware, I can't see my satellites in the web router login or mobile app. They don't appear on the network map.
That said, I DO see them if I log in directly. Also, devices appear to be connected to the satellites and they also don't have any errors shown on the ring lights on top of the devices.
Also, I am now having a strange issue with my Xbox not being able to authenticate to my network and is asking for an alternative MAC. I see it connected in the admin console so I don't think it is Orbi. It's just strange that this popped up once the firmware update hit.
I’ve been using the new firmware for a week now. Seems like wifi adapter 802.11g or 802.11n cannot have stable connection with the router compare to the previous firmware 2.7.2.104 . It keep disconnecting like every 15 to 20 minutes. I thought it is because of the wifi adapter driver… but it is not the case. I done restoring back old driver and upgrading the wifi adapter driver. The result is still the same. Something is realy wrong with this latest firmware. Use to be able to downgrade the firmware. Now even if I manually downgrade the firmware, it will automatically upgrade back to the latest version firmware which is 2.7.3.22. I am getting super upset with this firmware.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
You might reach out to NG support and ask them to see if they can block your RBR from being updated. You'll need to give them the serial# of the RBR.
