ATTN RBR960 Orbi network users! Need a piece of info from you
HI all, we are trying to hunt down an anomaly that may be an issue and may not be - namely, that the 960 series of Orbi routers seems to regularly use more memory out of its 818MB than older Orbi sys...
Boot Loader Version: 2016.01_rtm-5.0.1.32
Wow...am I the only one on Boot Loader version 2016.01_rtm-6.0.2.21....?
Ah ah, owlyn is the culprint. LOL. đ
Ya I know owlyn, we got our systems at the same time. đ
Possible generation gap here. Hoping to find out what the differences in Bootloaders is and why.- Newer isnât always better, especially with NG firmware đ
Yeah I didn't volunteer for it đ€
- My hunch is the lower version was the manual FW download, as that was available first, and the higher version was the FW push version, which just happened recently. .
I believe Dons was manually applied as I had referred him to v7 FW soon after I got his 960.
Ya Mine was manually applied as well. Only thing I can think of that our units are 1st gen HW. Recently bought units may already be loaded with v6.x BL version, and just applying v7 FW may not effect anything here.
Wondering if someone that has 1st gen HW, downgraded back to v.6 FW then let there system re-update via AU, if the BL would get updated to v6.x. I've asked for more info from NG on this. Would like to know for sure what we should be seeing and expect.
