Wrong connection types in Satellite after upgrade to .034

Just noticed since I have not checked since the upgrade to the .34 that Orbi thinks my Nest thermostat is now wired to the satallite in the other room! :smileysurprised:

  • There have been some issues with the F/W identifying the connection type since the first F/W releases.  While they are getting better, it still is a work in progress in my opinion.

     

    I have found that sometimes you just have to give it a day or so and it figures itself out.  Sometimes less time.  But ultimately, my system always figured it out.

     

    How recently did you install new F/W?

      Software upgrade was done over last weekend. Yes I have seen the unknown many times but this is the first that a wireless connection says its wired to the satellite. 

       

      Its no different than what I see since a release before the .34, when first logging in it says I have 7 or 8 devices, move to another page and come back and now it says I have 28 connected devices. These are things that started in the last 2 releases that I have noticed.
