RBR50 with Firmware 2.5.1.8
I just did a manual update to 2.5.1.8 from 2.5.0.38 as I also added a 4th satelitte. Everything is connected via ethernet backhaul. Everything is running fine (ALL wifi switches and echo dots ...
Seen others with Circle issues. I recommend if your needing circle to work, please post about Circle over in the Circle forum:

Just did a manual update to Satellite and then Router for version 2.5.1.8. All went smooth. Things seem to be operating well. Hopefully it will stay that way!
Good. Be sure to make a backup configuration to file for safe keeping.
Enjoy. :smileywink:

I can confirm too, I did the automatic update to 2.5.1.8 and all my devices went missing. Further the satellite backhauls were viewed as disconnected even though they worked. But my devices kept conflicting IP's and caused numerous disconnects. Had to revert and downgrade.
So odd how everyone gets different results. Since upgrading I have not had one issue. System has been rock solid.

I experience the same with 2.5.1.8. My Orbi system is in Access Point mode. I discovered that if I have Daisy Chain ON, the connected device list and Satellite connection status works fine. If I turn it OFF, then I lose everything and the satellites show as disconnected. It does show both satellites as connected to the router even with Daisy Chain ON. Give that a shot?
That setting is found in Advanced - Advanced Setup - Wireless Settings - Backaul Topology.
Next time try a factory reset on the RBR and RBS after updating FW. I'm on v2.5.1.8 and all devices appear. Mine was factory reset and setup from scratch
One thing about Daisy Chain, if it's not needed Turn it OFF on the RBR first before connecting or using any RBS.
