Satellite WiFi no longer works after firmware update to 2.7.4.24
I have a single router/satellite combo. My RBR50 and RBS50 updated automatically about a week ago to 2.7.4.24 and ever since my satellite's wifi stopped working after working flawlessly for the last 4...
I also found that some devices stopped connecting to the internet even though they were connected to the local network. Not sure whether it was the same satellite firmware.
Downgrading/reverting to 2.7.3.22 seemed to solve the problem; two satellites are still 2.7.4.24, so far.
Router 2.7.4.24 clearly has some problems.
Hello garyhooper,
I understand that you are having issues with your RBR50 on firmware version 2.7.4.24. Can you elaborate on the end user devices that are having disconnection issues with the most recent firware?
Best,

Several devices connected to the local network, but could not access the internet. These included at least an iPhone, Flume, Tesla Powerwall. Rebooting and resetting the devices made no difference.
As soon as I downgraded the router firmware, they all instantly were able to access the internet.
These devices were connected to the primary WiFi network? (not the Guest network?)
- Correct.
