RBS50 issues with Firware V2.7.3.22 - Firmware incorrect
I have had an RBR50 +1 RBS50 satelite that had been working nearly flawlessly for some time,,,,until Firware V2.7.2.104. Devices being blocked from the internet when connected to the satelite, like ...
After this upgrade, on top of the bugs already mention, also noted the following:
- Under Advanced -> Advanced Setup -> Web Services Management.
All the Remote Management options have disappeared. Has this been removed intentionaly I wonder.
- Also noted in orbi app (for IOS), under Settings -> Anywhere Access" "Out-Of-Home Controls" turned itself back on, I had this turned off before upgrade. That to me is a major concern, do we have to check every setting each time we do an upgrade now!!!
- Along with the other known bugs that have not been addressed, as mentioned in this thread.
Is Netgear going to take software upgrades more seriously in future? The constant simple QA oversights, ie mismatch firmware, changing configuration, not addressing major bugs etc are starting to get tiresome.
Seriously, unless there are some assurances there will be better QA before releasing software updates, and addressing bugs in a timely manner, I'm just going to buy another router from somewhere else.

That is, indeed, odd. I just checked my Orbi app (iOS) and that setting is still turned off; nothing else appears to have changed with the update.

I just now installed v2.7.3.22 on my spare Orbi RBR50. Web Services Management appears as it always has. (see attached image). With only one device connected to this Orbi (my Double NAT test bed), I have not noticed any other changes.
Continue to be amazed that people can install the exact same firmware on Orbi routers and wind up with different settings.
Some users may need a factory reset and setup from scratch if they encounter odd problems like browser items missing or not appearing.
Be sure to clear out all browser caches before entering the RBRs web page.
Try a different browser as well.
Most cases this isn't a FW issue.
After reading the replies, looks like I'll have to do a factory reset. Will do that later today.
Thanks all for the good replies and comments, I normally would not post, and I know I've probably sent the original post off on a tangent, but I was just getting frustrated after satellite firmware install error, we are in lock down over here emotions are running high at the moment. :smileyhappy:

My plan was to see if that hack that gets Attached Devices to sort on every column (name, IP, MAC, host, etc.) still works. Guess our days of poking around in the router are over.
