Thanks for letting us know and the orbi app screen shot. Glad SPC is finally making in to Orbi AX.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Updated my RBK752 this morning, been running great all day. Removed the static dns entries from my win10 box and haven't seen any dns issues yet. The parental controls are in the orbi app. So far looks like a well thought out setup.

FURRYe38 Is this new firmware stable and working fine? Can it be installed directly from the router or is it available for download only from the site? thank you

I don't have the 7 series Orbi and it's not yet avialble for the 8 series which I have.
Yes you can install it manaully. I dont' know if it's up on NG auto update services as of yet so if it's not seen on the RBR as available, you can manually download it and install it. Install on the RBS first then RBR lastly. Power OFF the RBR and RBS for 30 seconds then back ON after FW has been updated.

I had been running a Beta firmware so not sure how they staged the rollout for this particular firmware. So far it has been just as stable as most of the past firmware updates "for me in my environment". I have about 50 devices on my network in a 2200 sq ft wood frame house. I get my full 400/20 (speedtests to 480/24 mostly) at every corner of the house inside and solid speeds to front sidewalk and all of backyard.
No DNS issues with this update "so far" and it might have also fixed the Log truncation issue but not sure about that yet.

Ater you installed this version of FW, did you continue to use the system with or with out a reboot, power cycle or factory reset and setup from scratch?
