Firmware v2.5.1

v2.3.5.30 on RBR50v1 and no updates shown here, either on the iOS app or web interface.
My RBR50 and RBS50 autoupdated to 2.5.1.8.
This is the first time my Orbi units have ever updated by themselves without intervention.
The RBS40V, RBS50Y, and RBS40 did not autoupdate to anything newer, and stayed on their 2.3 variants.
I have upgraded to v2.5.1.8 this morning without any dramas and this firmware release appears to have resolved the device naming / icon issue introduced in v2.5.0.38.
Have fun......
I updated to V2.5.1.8 this morning. This better fix my daily reboots and connection drops else I'm getting rid of the Orbi system. This has been the worst wireless router I've owned. Before moving to the Orbi mesh system 14 months ago, my Apple Airport Extreme didn't need to be rebooted once in 3 years. I currently have 43 devices connected to our three Orbi's.
Is v2.5.1.8 available for download and manual install? I don't see it in the download section and I would like to give it a try.

I'm glad it's working for you. I see it as still broken.

That's a shame, it's not 100% OK, I have one device that's stuck showing the 'doorbell' icon. If I change it to an 'extender' icon it works, but if I change it to a 'generic network' icon it reverts back to showing the 'doorbell' icon :-) Apart from that for all the other devices I can change their names and icons at will.
