Thanks a lot. I will wait a few days before updating 😬
It will be interesting to see if this firmware fixes the issue I discovered in regards to the 2.4GHz band, knocking out both the 5GHz and 6GHz bands.
See below posts for more info.
I updated my 960 right away yesterday and it's been rock solid. Course, it was rock solid before, so your mileage may vary. Oh, actually one issue, my Android Orbi app (verified updated) will no longer connect to the RBR960. I just get a white screen when I start it up. Uninstalled and reinstalled, same issue. Perhaps it's an app issue and not related to the firmware update, but it certainly worked before the new firmware.
How was your system updated? Via AutoUpdate, Manually or Update ALL?
Did you update and continue to use the system after it rebooted or was there a power cycle of the system OFF for 1 minute then back ON or did you do a factory reset and setup from scratch?
Is your RBS wirelessly connected or ethernet connected?

Power cycled RBR and RBSs, and then I realized that I'm not using the WiFi on these devices, I'm just using them for backhaul. Disabled my phone WiFi which made the app try anywhere connect (which I don't allow), and then once it was on that screen I turned the phone WiFi back on and it worked. A little workaround since I use these devices in a non-standard way.
Second the Orbi app not connecting. Saying my Orbi is offline, as I type this online. Go figure.
Finally got my 854 system updated yesterday. After doing the FW update, Power cycle and a factory reset and setup from scratch, took a good hour to complete and get it finally configured in a staged area and ready to go live on the home network. Will hopefully get a chance to get it online this week, I hope. Fingers 🤞
