Orbi RBR50 2.1.4.16 google home authentication failure
Orbi RBK50 (RBR50 router and 1 RBS50 satellite); noticed update for firmware from 2.1.4.10 to 2.1.4.16. Immediately after updating, all of my google homes (1 original and 2 minis) stopped working. ...
I upgraded a week or so ago and hadn't noticed a problem. This morning I have the same problem with a google home mini and 1st gen Chromecast using the main router (can't see the chromecast on the network from the chromecast option). Another home mini using the satellite continues to work correcty, and I can see some of my other Chromecasts. I didn't have time to dig further into the issue, but no, you are not alone.
For the record, my problem with one of my 2 devices was working when I returned home, so it was apparently a Google problem. Interesting that it affected only one of two devices purchased at the same time.
