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 am afraid to breathe but it seems that both the master and slave have been up for 51 days with this firmware. That easily eclipses the previous 3 day record.
Thanks for letting us know your experience with this.
Be sure you have made a backup configuration to file for safe keeping. If it's been up that long, please take a breath. :smileywink:

I ended up giving up. I sold the Orbi system for half price and used that money to purchase Ubiquiti AP AC Lite (2 of them). Ethernet backhaul, HomeKit, Ring, Sonos and my solar inverter all now work effortlessly with a single SSID over 2.4 & 5 GHz. Zero issues encountered, WiFi behaves perfectly. Good luck to all of you and keep in mind other solutions exist that do work.
