V2.3.5.30 Broke Bridge Mode Dont Upgrade

Did you happen to factory reset the RBR after upgrading to v30 to see if the R7000 would connect to it? I have a R7800 which is semi newer than the R7000, connects fine to the RBR I have loaded with v30. Tried both stock FW and Voxels R7800 FW. 

Something I would contact NG support about and let them know.

Frustrating weekend troubleshooting. I use Orbi RBR50 and a  RBS50 also use a R7000 in Bridge mode for my pc, using 5GHz, for last couple years. I had updated the Orbi and the R7000. After this It would connect for a couple minutes or no connection at all with the R7000, using the 5GHz channel since it gives me better download speeds than the 2GHz. I factory reset the R7000 multiple times, even the 30-30-30, thinking that was the issue since its old router, and there has been times where i would need to reboot the router to get a connection, also, maybe firmware was bugged. I downgraded the firmware on the R7000 and still wouldnt connect.I just couldnt conceive that it would be the Orbi firware that was the issue. I always factory reset whenever i upgrade the firmware.

 

Low and behold I decided to downgrade my Orbi firmware to 2.3.1.44, and everything is working fine. I wont be upgrading my firware again. This is the 2nd time a firmware has given serious issues, last time was when there was the WiFi kept saying off a year or so ago. I just dont understand how you can messup so bad with the firmware yet have great hardware. Dissapointing.
