Orbi Firmware update 2.5.0.38 problems
Have a 2 year old RBR50 with 2 satellites - have had no problems until recent update to 2.5.0.38. Everything is working howerever the GUI now has issues when attempting to display devices. The web ...
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 too have a very similar issue since the recent updrage to 2.5.0.38
My computers on WiFi now sporadically disconnect or seem to crawl for 5-10 mins and then go back to what feels like an ok speed. There's certainly something broken with this most recent version and I hope that Netgear either patch or allw us to regress to the previous version.
Another thing that I've found is that the "attached devices" list shows loads of devices that are actually no longer in use, but they still show as active - ghost devices?!? weird for sure.
Have rebooted both router and satellite several times (Both off, router on, wait....., satellits on) which works for a while, but hours, not days. Have not performed a factory reset though.
What's the benefit of the factory reset?
Thanks,
Shaun.
Please factory reset as a last resort.
Reset helps clear out any possible bad configurations and lingering FW code from prior versions.
Mines been working well though I do factory resets and setup from scratch after any FW updates for my system:
