I have the Orbi Whole Home Dual-band wi-fi system, picture here, (includes 1 RBR10 Orbi Router and RBS10 Satellites) I set this up in January so failry new, never had an issue before this past week. According to the Orbi app the routers firmware is V2.3.6.18.
I believe the firmware was installed during set-up.

I would see if you could verify when you got that firmware.

According to the Orbi app i am up to date with the firmware - wouldn't that mean the firmware is currently good then?
We did have a brief power outage - how would this affect it and what would i need to do to correct it?
Thank you!

I don't trust the app....login to your orbi using a pc.
power outages are known culprits when it comes to electronics
