Orbi RBR50 V2.6.1.40 - Missing Devices
The somewhat persistent 'missing devices issue' is now more prevalent / worse on software version 2.6.1.40. It appears that devices connected via Ethernet (to either the router or satellites) are al...

No, I have not done a 'factory reset', as I assume that I will loose all the connection, secure access and reserved port settings and that take a wee while to load.
Thanks.

Something that needs to be tired. You can save off a back up of the RBRs configuration before doing the reset.
Connections will reestablish when the RBR comes to ready with the ISP service. Connections will be back when you reset up the SSID name and PW.
If not, you may need to downgrade back to what had been working.
Good Luck.

Thank you.
The RBR50 Factory Reset/Restore solved the "missing devices" problem, however it did introduce a different issue.
My RBS20 Satellite would only show "Confic Sync" as a status.
Multiple reboots, resyncs and factory resets failed to resolve the issue.
reverting back a version of firmware did solve the issue and now everything is 100% correct.
RBS20 was up on 2.1.6.28 and now is down on 2.5.1.16 and works fine. Possible issue/bug in 2.1.6.28.
Appreciated the help received.
Cheers

Hey FURRYe38
Same issue and similiar setup as you (RBR50, RBS50, 2 RBS20 devices).
Have issue with nVidia Pro Sheild using Orbi network and not appearing in list of connected devices!
Based on seeing your post, suspect firmware issue as well.
Have an existing issue with not being able to activate trial for Armor using my inphone as well, wonder if you are experiencing this as well?
Cheers!
