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')
Users need to remember to try a factory reset after doing a FW update if they see odd issues and as a last resort to reverting FW. One thing I do regardless of any FW updates for my system. Saw no issues with iphones or speeds over the past week with v38 loaded. Continued to work very well for me.
Good Luck.

Good Luck.As posted by many users....this is BAD advice. NG and most hardware maker will tell you, a factory reset should only be required IF your device is unstable.
I didn't pay 400+ bucks to have to factory reset my equipment each time there is a patch or upgrade. That would make this product (or any other) worthless in my opinion.
