ORBI RBR20 does not work WPS feature with Nighthawk X6 EX7700 extender.

I was very impressed by WPS feature with two wonderful gears (EX7700, RBR20) before updating recent firmware.

After updating recent firmware of them, WPS feature is now no longer working.

WPS feature does not work anymore even with manual connect.

Unfortunely, I forgot last firmware before updating of them.

Is there any solution or issue about this? Please help this issue...

I don't want to buy another wifi router by this problem....

    What Firmware is currently loaded on both devices?

    What happens if you manually configure the EX to connect to the RBRs wifi SSID and PW?

        Which unit was recently updated? 

         

        So logging into the EX with a wired PC and web browser fails to connect the EX to the SSID name and PW using it's setup wizard?
