Orbi Ethernet Backhaul causing broadcast storm
I have just upgraded my Orbi router and satellites to V2.1.1.12 hoping to take advantage of the recent Ethernet backhaul feature. I use the Orbi router as my main router with a 24 port switch servic...
The executive summary is that this is a known bug in the 2.0 firmware. I encountered it, too. It is reputedly fixed in 2.1, which I haven’t tried. But 2.1 has other issues and was removed from the auto-update path. 2.2 is currently in the works but not yet released.
if you need wired backhaul today, manually install 2.1 and live with whatever other defects that entails. I can vouch that a pre-release version of 2.2 works very well but is not quite 100% there. I don’t know when it will be released fully baked.
Users will need to phone contact NG support to ask if any Betas are available for use with there systems.
