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.

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.
