Orbi MR 2.1 Update 3/23/18
Our teams are still working through the issues, but I wanted to provide a quick update on OrbiOS 2.1. We usually wait to release our software until it's available across all Orbi product lines, but ...
I've noticed that when you plug in the ethernet cable, it takes about a minute or two to get going again. You might give it more time.
Is there any network Gb switches in between the Satellite and router? If so, what is the Mfr and model# and is it a managed or non managed switch. I have two in between my Satellite and it took a good minute or two to get going. Been up and running. My switches are not managed however.
Prelectorwrote:Updated from the 2.1.2.18 beta easily enough, no issues there. However, ethernet backhaul doesn't work. First attempt took the system down initially when I plugged in the cable. Eventually it recovered, but device list was showing satellite connected via 2.4g. Rebooted everything, disconnected satellite ethernet, everything came back ok. Reconnected ethernet to satellite, and took system down again. This time, it didn't recover on it's own and I had to disconnect satellite ethernet. Once disconnected, system immediately came back up.
I gave it a good 10 minutes each try to stabilize, but no joy. I didn't do a hard reset, because of the time to readdress things. I'll likely sit at this point with wireless backhaul until I see some empirical evidence it's working in this version.
