Orbi Voice RBS40V Firmware V2.5.1.2 has typo in "Public_UPNP_gatedesc.xml" file... Help!

I examined the Public_UPNP_gatedesc.xml file in my browser, and determined that there is a typo in line 2:
<root xmlns="urn:schemas-upnp-org:device-1-0"<%pnpx_root_desc();%>>
Yep, it's that extra >.
That is not a typo as it is not a double >.
Look closely at <root xmlns="urn:schemas-upnp-org:device-1-0"<%pnpx_root_desc();%>>. In layman's terms you will see the beginning routine's "<" then the sub-routine's "<". At the end, the first ">" is for the sub-routine and the second ">" is closing the routine..
For the record my PLEX server is running with no issues, and my setup includes an RBS40V.
IMHO the error is caused by something missing:
Plex server parsing errors are usually caused by corrupted or missing dynamic-link library (DLL) files. Related errors mostly occur when a program mishandles the file during use. The most common problem happens within the Windows registry, where applications look up the location of DLL files they need. And because they are critical files, when a DLL file becomes unavailable, you will see a generated error.

Grab a copy of the Public_UPNP_gatedesc.xml file and have a look. Or drop it into your favorite code editor.- MstrbigNov 29, 2020Master

Again, I'm not seeing the issue with my RBS40v or any other Orbi device. You said you are not running Windows, as I am running the latest Pro with all the latest updates. I have also downloaded the ncessary libraries. So maybe the issue lies with your libraries not being up to date?
Don't know for sure as I don't need it, but this may help with the UPNP issues users are seeing.

The problem here is that non-NAT-router satellite MUST NOT have a gateway description - which is most likely incomplete, thus causing the problems... well known from some Netgear business wireless access points which can be operated in router mode, and the XML isn't adjusted accordingly, making Plex (and other software evaluating the UPnP SSDP stuff) cry.
