Orbi firmware 2.1.2.18 GUI display issue (satellites show as devices...should be satellites)
Firmware GUI doesn't recognize the satellites either
I think this happens when your satellites are not running the same version of firmware as the router.
see screen shot above, I am running the same firmware on all three.
I think the issue is related to the fact that my one satellite is using the 5Ghz backhaul and my second satellite is using a ethernet backhaul. I think it is only a GUI issue, speed through all 3 Orbi devices is very good.
Hoping the netgear commentator has some feedback to confirm this is a know issue (in general it would be nice if Netgear did a better job describing known issues and generally when we can expect them to be addressed).
Given that some of us have $500 invested in Netgear Orbi, I think part of everyone's frustration is we don't know what and when Netgear is working on.
Transparency please.
