Woke up to a reset ORBI RBK50 system
Hello Folks,
I've had my RBK50 system for a few years now. This morning I woke up with no internet. After doing some troubleshooting I noticed that my Orbi system was broadcasting the standard "Orbixx" SSID which tells me the system may have been reset during the night. I suspect my system updated to 2.7.2.104. I honestly dont recall what version I was on prior. Thinking maybe 2.6.x.x???? Anyway, I basically have to set up my system from scratch. I dont run many customizations so it was not too big a deal. However, I'm trying to figure out the root cause. Is there any way to tell if the system did update recently?

When I telnet into my Orbi, there is a parameter that corresponds with when it last updated firmware (I believe. I did not record on the calendar at the time.) Telnet into the Orbi router and type the command nvram show | grep update
Here is my output. Notice the highlighted line:
