Orbi firmware update v2.1.4.16 availability
We’ve been monitoring issues that some customers have experienced in OrbiOS 2.1.4. In response, we’re releasing firmware that provides a permanent fix for the homekit issue along with various other f...
I have a non managed Cisco SG100-16 16-Port Gigabit Switch (SG100-16-NA). My Ethernet backhaul was working fine on 2.1.2.18 but since then every auto upgrade kills the entire network. I have 1 RBR50 router and 2 RBS50 satellites. All are beyond wifi backhaul range and require Ethernet to talk. When I run 2.1.2.18 with Ethernet backhaul my entire home has a clean mesh running. Every week now I need to reflash back to this old firmware to make sure my security system and all other internet based items can work. Ugh, painful.
Some have mentioned doing a factory reset and set up from scratch:
Whats your process after the FW has updated to most recent?
Usully a full reboot should work. I believe one user said to disconnect everything from the Orbi system accecpt for the satellite(s). Get the satellites working on wifi first, then connect the ethernet and let the one satellite re-configure, give 5 minutes. Top led should turn BLUE. Do same for 2nd satellite if you have one.
Some say to disable daisy chain on the router. You'll need to try this out enable or disabled to see what works. Disabled should work best.
If you can get ethernet backhaul working then re-connect all other LAN devices.
