Orbi remote management shows wrong model

Hi, Everyone

Had my orbi system for a few days and really like it.

Just dealing with what I think is another bug.

Yesterday when I was away from home my remote management wasn't working. When I got home I checked if remote management was turned on. It was. I turned it off and on then remote management worked.

Today I'm again away from home and remote management does work, but initially it shows the wrong model number.

It shows RBR50. But when I click on the router it then shows my router correctly (RBR40) and 2 satellites.

It's just an annoying bug.

Thanks

  • What version of firmware do you have in your router and satellite(s)?

      Guide
      Firmware versions;

      App - 2.2.13.22
      Router - 2.2.1.210
      Each satellite - 2.2.1.2.04

      I noticed when I click on settings in the app, then "about" it also shows RBR50

      Thanks

        This informatin is related to the registered products and are coming from the "NG Cloud" not from Orbi or the Orbi app.

        It looks that the RBR40 (and may be other models) are still not defined in the NG Cloud.

        Christian_R , can you help with this please?
