orbe app update alert
my iOS Orbi app (version 2.8.0.15) keeps wanting firmware updates and is confusing the satellite FM for the router FW. Wants to make router same as satellite. See pic where .38 is the current satel...

The screen shot was why I concluded it was the CBR40. I have so little confidence in the "app" that I am not able to conclude anything from the picture. What I would do is log into the Orbi web interface and open the Advanced Tab, Administration, Firmware Update and see what it says.

Crimpon, thanks. That app UPDATE indication bug has been there a long time and became irritating enough to investigate. I will ignore from now on.
I often us the web version and it generally works well.
