Try a factory reset and setup from scratch:

Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a try sometime in the next few days when I have a few hours to play with it. I'll let you know whether it works or not. I've always had trouble when using the app for updates. I should have just gone to the router's internal page instead. Live and learn...again!

For users having problems with there Orbi units after updating to v.31, We recommend that if you have done most troubleshooting efforts to clear the issues seen after loading v.31 and still experience problems, you'll need to downgrade back to v.21 version. RBS first then RBR lastly. It's recommended after downgrading, to perform a Factory Reset and setup from scratch to ensure there no lingering FW from v.31 on the system. Also disable the Auto Update feature on the RBRs web page soon after to avoid the system re-updating back to v.31.
We have made NG aware of the issues with v.31 and have ask them to consider pulling back FW v.31 for all Orbi AX and AXE systems.
Thank you.- 1analguyNov 07, 2024Tutor
Good advice, I'm sure...but how do you backdate your system's firmware if you have no access to your system?
