Well, I reverted back to V7.2.6.31_5.0.24. Odd connection issues with the satellite and when I downgraded the firmware of the satellite first it would auto update back to 7.2.7.15 within a minute or two. Definitely some major bugs.
Which orbi model system do you have?
I'd give a factory reset and setup from scratch after v.15 is applied. If your seeing issues, a FR would be needed to help check this. Not a major issue if you don't check this a bit more.
Mines been online since the other day. FW was applied, power cycled, the FR and setup from scratch with 3 RBS wirelessly connected. Not seeing any issues at the RBS. I have a R7960P in wireless bridge mode connected to on of the RBS. I was watching TV with my DISH Joey connected ethernet to the R7960P just fine yesterday.

So interesting that after upgrading to .15 that some people have issues and others do not. I updated my firmware on 2 RBS and the RBR, power cycled each one, and it's been rock solid since. I'm in AP mode with a Ubiquiti gateway managing clients and other services.
- I have the RBK852, seems like the ipv6 issue is causing my problems. Drops ipv6 in 4 to 5 hours and then some of my cameras no longer want to connect. Tried all the usual reset and reboot tactics and nothing changed. Reverted to V7.2.6.31_5.0.24. and everything is back to fine. v7.2.7.15 100% introduced the ipv6 bug that has plagued other users in the past which is well documented with older firmwares. Disappointed to say the least, was hoping to run the latest version of firmware.
Whos the ISP your connecting with?
What is the brand and model# of the ISP modem/ONT the RBR is connected too?
How is IPv6 configured on the RBR? DHCP, Auto, Static?
Are you using ISP IPv6 DNS or a custom DNS?
How was the system updated? Auto update or manually?
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router and satellites been performed since last update?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? This would be to be performed to help check for IPv6 issues.
I manually loaded my system, power cycled and then factory reset and setup from scratch. This FW cleared a bad LED behavior on one of my RBS.

Disappointed to say the least, was hoping to run the latest version of firmware.- I have Cox and a Nokia ONT. Manual updated firmware. IPv6 is set to DHCP using their DNS just like before, I changed nothing as far as settings. Only thing I did not try is a reset of the entire system. Too much of an issue to set up from scratch. I did try everything as far as reboots, power cycle and disconnect the ONT for over a minute. All previous firmwares worked flawlessly with IPv6 so I am certain it was introduced in the latest version, as least for me.
