The reset and setup from scratch on the RBR will probably fix the issues your seeing. Try then when your ready.

400 Bad Request
This server does not support the operation requested by your client.
Mobile app does not allow a firmware downgrade as far as I can tell.
Is there a way to telnet into the router and downgrade the firmware?
(have not yet tried reset - saving as last resort since things are 'working')

I updated to the new firmware (v2.5.0.38) a couple of days ago and since then I feel my satellite router is not picking up devices correctly. I have my two routers on opposite sides of my main floor. If I stand right next to my satellite with my iPhone then I can see my phone as one of the devices. However, I move into the kitchen (same side of the house and less than ten feet from the satellite and only going through one wall) then I do not see my phone as one of it's devices. The phone connectors to the main router on the other side of the house (through a wall and a stone fireplace). Needless to say when I do a speed test it is less than a quarter of the speed to my house.

Do you have "Fast Roaming" enabled? On the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab->Advanced Setup->Wireless Settings, at the very bottom of the screen.
