Orbi Firmware 2.3.1.60
Welp, anyone have any notes on this thing? It's already downloaded to my router and satellite waiting for me to pull the pin.
Hi,
Just for information, when you're in the Firmware Update page and it downloads new firmware to install, the version number next to both the router and the satellite is a clickable link.
If you click the link, it will show you the release notes of all changes between your currently installed firmware and the update.
Although, this "feature" is not hidden, it's not always obvious that it's there either.
welp.. after the firmware update 3 drops in my network within the last 3 hours. Whyyyyy did i do it?!
After hitting the "Update All" button, everything came back online in ~10mins.

Even with telnet enabled, I'm now unable to telnet in when I could before. Clearly nothing changed for you! Strange... I simply get an error
[Could not create a new process and open a pseudo-tty.]
I'm on Apple Macos 10.14.4 - perhaps apple has made it impossible in its updating. Anyone have success with an apple?
I am running MacOS Mojave 10.14.4 and I am not experiencing any issues or difficulties.
