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.

A couple of question if I may

  1. Does re-booting the router also re-boot the satellites?
  2. Also is there a way to re-boot individual satellites?

Thanks

1. No.

2. Yes, need to enable telnet, then telnet into each Satellite/Router and type "reboot"

 

Check out this link for telnet and related info.
