Thank you for your response. I have done what you said and both my router and satellitte are both now at firmware version V2.5.1.16.
Why do you feel I should now do a factory reset and start over again when both the router and satelllite are now in synce?
What would be the method for doing a factory reset and what does in entail?
Thanks again for the help!

You don't have to reset. Just some time Orbi does exhibit odd problems after FW udpates.
If your not seeing any problems currently. You don't need to reset.
I would recommend making a back up configuration of the RBR settings to file. This helps save time if a reset is needed.
Press the back reset button for 15 seconds then release.
