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.
My RBR50 updated to .60 without any issues but my RBS50 is stuck on .48. It shows "Waiting for connection" on the firmware update page.
Rebooted twice, no luck. Any suggestions to get my sattelite also updated to .60? I do not see any firmware downloads links for manual update.
Maybe there isn't one. They don't always go side by side, especially for satellites.

Satellites pull their Wireless Settings from the main Router. If there's a misconfigured Wireless setting or any setting for that matter, it will affect all Satellites. Otherwise, common wireless issue is often traced back to the main Router settings unless there's an issue like hardware failure specific that one Satellite, stale configs were still stuck in NVRAM, which requires reset to clear, or weak Backhaul between Satellites/Router.
I would be very interest in any special config that's only configurable via Satellite. That would be nice to know as well. :-)

Not quite sure what you are looking for here, but the RBS50Y Outdoor Satellite and RBS40V Voice are two satellites that do wonky things.
The Outdoor Satellite certainly has wifi controls that are unique to its interface. The indoor/outdoor thing is something to do with the law.
As yet, no 2.3.1.60 on the RBR40.

I don't have those kits and can't really speak to them and I'm certainly not advocating against the law. However, I would be very interest in those Wireless Settings if available. From this Forum/users, some with basic Orbi package, like RBK53, have wireless drop/connectivity problem. Those are the basic setup, which I was referring to in my earlier posts. If we could solve simple/basic setup, it would be a good start.

Although most have probably figured this out by now, the RBS50 does indeed have a .60 update. Cheers.
