Interestingly enough, the main router RBR50 is still showing link rates for connected devices even though it had the same firmware update.
My Android Orbi app (v2.1.0.1395) is the same. (Orbi Firmware 2.7.2.104) RBR50 router shows Link Rate, RBS50 satellite does not, RBS40V does. Scott's Excel SOAP spreadsheet does not get Link Rate or Signal Strength from devices connected to the satellite.
Looks like an "oops" in the new satellite firmware.
Also, the Android Orbi app now appears to think that Parental Controls is "on" and believes I have 113 devices in my "Home". 34 connected and 79 not connected. Orbi web interface does not contain any link to Parental Controls. Perhaps that is now an "app only" feature? (Like sound control on the RBS40V can be done only on the app, not from the RBS40V web menu or Orbi router menu.)
