RBR50 / RBS50 Firmware Version 2.0.0.76 issues

I upgraded my RBR50/RBS50 systems to firmware v2.0.0.76 and noticed that DHCP requests are no longer being logged and I can no longer connect to the router using my Android cellphone. Anyone else not...

Thank you, Charleem.  I am happy to try out the beta since I powerd off my RBS50 (satellite) a week after KRACK was announced and there was no replacement firmware in sight.

      Installation went well.  It has been up and running for some 20 minutes.  The computer I'm using now connected to the Satellite (as expected by proximity), but I'm a little surprised that the MCS Index is only 6 given the distance and interceding materials.  However the measured throughput is what I would expect. I've walked through my settings and all seems right.  I can't verify that they've addressed the protocol issue with KRACK, but one has to hope that they did it right.

      One more question:  How does one learn of these beta releases?  I didn't see anything public about it.

        It was just luck, I'd been checking the support page for the Orbi every week and spotted that update.
        It'd be handy if they did email but at least they auto update when the version is fully released.

        I'm not going to update to the beta until I'm back from holiday mid December, by which time I hope it'll be out of testing.
