RBR50/RBS50 Firmware 2.5.1.16 Update
Latest firmware v2.5.1.16 on RBK53 in AP mode. No new surprises yet. Everything seems to be in order and working. If you took the plunge, please share your experiences.
So I attempted the upgrade as well. I've been one of the lucky ones who have had a very stable Orbi setup since day 1.
Have about 35 devices connected of all types.
Satelites both upgraded fine but getting an "500 Internal Server Error" when I try to upgrade the router. This is the typical order I have done things. Thoughts? Tips? Tricks? Have redownloaded the firmware file and confirmed I am trying to use the RBR firmware...
I got the 500 Internal Server Error when trying to upgrade my RBR50. Rebooting the router, unplugging the modem cable, and of course using an ethernet cable resolved the issue for me. It never completed its "upgading don't unplug me" message in web browser, but after 4-5 mins I could see devices connecting and confirm router had right firmware version from my iPhone.
I would factory reset the RBR and RBS and setup from scratch. after the setup completes and the system works. Be sure to do a backup configuration to file for safe keeping.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
