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.
I did a factory reset twice after updating to V60 because internet was not working
Read the ZTE cannot be set to bridge mode. Have the NG Orbi always in AP mode. Should work isn't it?
Do you have the wireless disabled on the ZTE?
After updating the Orbi to v60, should work well. Others have had good success with v60. Possible some tweeking maybe needed. When you reset did you setup from scratch or load a saved config from file from prior FW version save?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

That's good if it works and the RBK50 doesn't autoupdate itself. Did you use the manual method of disabling auto update?
