Quite happy with this firmware update 3.2.18.1!
For the Netgear Orbi AX RBK853 (Router + 2 Satellites), it auto-updated under the router admin and works successfully. I rebooted one of the Satellites to get a better connection, was a bit intermittent just after the update, but as soon as restarted all is stable. Fast and strong connection.
I also don't have any more DNS issues, however previously I did setup a 4to6 Tunnel under the router admin as well which helps mostly with that.

The issue with Armor Vulnerability scans are fixed? Really???
Updated overnight. It's now almost 20 hours since it updated and rebooted.
Guess what!!
Not one single Armor Vulnerabilty scan has taken place. Not. One.
Define fixed.

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Armor product. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Armor and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Good Luck.

- waresoftApr 15, 2021StarThe latest firmware update has fixed the Vulnerability Scan issue. You have to remove every device from Armor, then as they repopulate it starts the scans. If Netgear would let users know this, like with a README with the firmware update. SMH.

I wonder if disableing Armor first, before udpating FW, then re-enabling it would work.
I don't run Armor so I would not have seen this. Thanks for letting us know.
I loaded mine last night, Just manually downloaded and manually applied to each device. Powered them OFF for 30 seconds then back ON is all. Operational and working. RBS security modes are in place. No OPEN modes.
Unfortunately the connection rate Up To speeds seen on the RBS web page bug is still there. :smileyembarrassed:
