RBK53 v1 with firmware 2.7.2.102?
Hi there, Does anyone know if the latest RBK53 firmware version 2.7.2.102 works with the RBK53 version 1 system (USB connector on back)? Netgear Orbi app only suggests 2.6.1.40 as available updat...

Yes, it does. I have it on two.
Thanks, CrimpOn - good to know. Did you expirience any kind of issues when switching to this firmware version? I'm trying to update my firmware (currently still on 2.5.1.16) due to issues with not showing all connected devices

and random disconnects of one of the two satellites.
Thanks much in advance.

No issues so far, but it is "early days". I came directly from 2.5.1.16 (it's long and embarrasing story). So far, nothing stands out.
Thanks!

Well, I realized today that 2.7.2.102 has managed to "not show" two devices (1) a wired printer, and (2) a WiFi Echo Dot. The Orbi log clearly shows both devices receiving IP assignments via DHCP as they should. And, both devices function normally. No clue why 2.7.2.102 would think they are "Allowed devices that are not currently connected to the network." The Orbi "app" also does not show these devices as connected.
Now I share your delimma. Orbi firmware is not showing all devices. Do I (a) go back to 2.5.1.16 or (b) remain on 2.7.2.102 and try to remember that Attached Devices is incorrect, of (c) split the difference and try 2.5.2.4?
Thanks for the update ... well, not showing only two devices is already pretty good, lol ... out of the approx. 40 connected things in our home, our Orbi (2.5.1.16) decided to only show about 12 of them as connected. Everything else is listed under "currently not connected to the network" although the devices are all working. I really can't believe that as a networking company they haven't manage to fix such a simple problem like this? This system is in the market now since 2019 I believe. Really sucks! Was hoping that the latest firmware update fixes these glitches, but looks like it doesn't. There is no point in buying a 2 satellite system when one of them just always disconnects itself after a couple of days, then needs to be re-synced.
Starting to consider to just dump this piece of crap and buy something else that actually works. I really do not have time to baby-sit a WiFi system that should be set and forget.
Sounds like you might have a faulty system if your RBS are disconnecting randomly.
