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 been running the 2.1.3.4 Beta on my RBR50 router & (2) RBS50 satellites for a week now, and it's working great. I did do a paperclip reset on the satellites after upgrading from 2.1.2.18, but I have not factory reset the router.
The only negative change I've experienced with this FW is the satellite in a detached garage wouldn't connect to the router anymore (wasn't a great connection to start with). However, I purchased a Netgear Powerline 2000 kit, and Ethernet Backhaul is working flawlessly and much faster than the previous wireless connection.
The 2.1.3.4 Beta did fix:
Regularly dropped Verizon WiFi calling during calls (iPhone 8 Plus)
Complaints of broken audio on receiving end while on Verizon WiFi calling
"Not connected to Internet" issue on iPad Air 2 (while being connected to WiFi)
Belkin Wemo light controller being intermittently inaccessable by Alexa
