Orbi RBS/RBR 50 Version 2.1.3.4 and Apple homekit iDevices and Philips Hue problems.
I have updated to firmware version 2.1.3.4 and have noticed some homekit instability. I have several iDevices Switches which have become intermittent and no other changes than the router firmware. ...
Does disabling Beamforming, MiMo Daisy Chain or fast roaming do anything?
Did you factory reset both router and satellite after upgrading?
Did you factory reset both router and satellite after upgrading?
Thanks for the suggestions
I would like to see how many other people have these problems before I tear apart my entire setup which was working absolutely perfectly before this firmware update.
One thing I might try is revert to the previous firmware as I am quite confident that will fix 100% of my problems....
Bill____I had the same and had to roll back to 2.1.2.18. It's definitely a mess-up with the latest firmware. I can only guess that whatever fixes they used to prevent google devices from doing mDNS storms has completely broken HomeKit.
Thank you for the responses.
I have rolled back the router and two satellites to version 2.1.2.18
I am now getting zero issues, all homekit items reachable inside and from outside (remote)
Looks like another failed firmware release (two in a row I think)
I would contact NG support and let them know what your seeing. I believe others have posted about this as well.
