Ever seen this on the 850 firmware status page?
I was updating a neighbor's Orbi 850 system for them today. I replaced their Motorola MB8600 modem and activated a NG CM3000, as their plan had gone from 1000/15 to 1000/150 with Comcast, but the Motorola modem was not certified for mid-split upload speeds. They have an 850 and 2 RBSs.
The update went fine, they are getting the new speeds. But looking around, I wanted to see the firmware situation.
They are on FW 4.6.4.13, which I know is old. I didn't update it, since all was working well I didn't want to rock the boat. But I don't understand the FW status page, I have not seen this before (see picture). It seems to be saying all 3 Orbis are on 4.6.4.13, yet where it usually says "No firmware available", or "7.2.6.31 available", it has version numbers that are blue and are OLDER than the installed FW. What is this, is this some old bug or something?
Ya seems to be a odd bug in the AU system detection.
I'd not update to v.31. Even if the system updated, probably would loose connections to the RBS if they don't get updated to v7 first.
If the system is going to be updated, manually update to v.21 on the RBS FIRST, then RBR lastly...Then disable AU on the RBR.
