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.
Just updated to this firmware and all Mac, iOS, PC, and smart devices in the household are occasionally dropping the WiFi signal since then. :(
Yep. I'm now having the same issues with various devices losing connectivity and having to reboot them. Going to downgrade until I see an update that seems to be smooth.
In my case the orbis go purple and drop everything. No access through orbi admin or telnet. I have to power cycle the rbr. It will stay up for 24-48 hours then boom, same crap.
Just ugh....
It's probably a buffer overflow or something similar. Due to incompetent coding.
No, just needs a factory reset and setup from scratch. Mines been working since day one of installing v60.
Was the FW loaded via auto update or manually? If auto update, try a manual re-load with downloaded FW files. Factory reset and setup from scratch.
I've had zero issues with v60. So have others after doing a factory reset.
