I have done the following in the order I have listed...
- Auto updated to V2.5.1.8...reboots start
- Factory reset and setup again from scratch...reboots continue
- Manually updated to V2.5.1.8
- Factory reset and setup again from scratch...reboots continue
- Manually downgraded to RBS50-V2.3.5.34 (looks like the last stable FW from the forum reading)
- 'Tried' to Factory reset and setup again from scratch but this time the iOS Orbi app forced me to update to V2.5.1.8, even tried to kill the app and connect via the browser but the router was not up and running
- Due to above had to go back to V2.5.1.8
Any advice pls guys?
Lessonn learned....don't do MANUAL updates (it's manual if you had to click a button). IF your system is working, leave it alone. When there is a critical or required updates, NG will push it with no action on your part. All others are at your own risk.
