Android/iOS App won't looses connection to RBR850 (RBK853) starting with Firmware 3.2.15.25
Hi, is anyone else seeing this problem? Starting with RBR/RBS 850 firmware upgrade to 3.2.15.25 both Android and iOS apps (adroid latest version 2.5.4.1036) loose connection to my RBR850. After...
Did a factory reset (although philosopically it makes little sense that a product would require this with each routine FW update), but did anyway, and problem still exists. I went back/forth to the previous FW a few times and that always resolved the problem. Something happened with 3.2.15.25 that makes the App not able to see the RBR853 after a few hours. (1) doesn't happen immediately, (2) I'm in AP mode, (3) it happens both on iOS and Android, and (4) the Web GUI works the whole time, even when the App doesn't see the AP
(oh, issue with V...25 and now on V...32 as well. Full reset, same behavior after a few hours)
What is the Mfr and model# of the main host router in front of the RBR850 in AP mode?
I know last time I had mine in AP mode connected to my CAX80 in router mode, the nighthawk app was not able to connect to the CAX thru the Orbi in AP mode, I was able to in v15.25 If I remember rightn
I updated mine to v32 today and both iphone and adroid app sees the RBR, however mines in router mode.:smileyvery-happy:
I'll keep checking mine this weekend.
- Main host router is Sophos XG 18. Been working perfectly since the day I installed the rbk853 and have always used in AP mode. Worked great on my RBK53 as well (AP) for years. Only thing that changed was latest FW. Thanks for checking.
You might change the RBR to router mode temporarily to see if this changing anything...
I'll try mine in AP mode this week and check as well.
