WOW, this morning about 2am i decided to update my two ORBI RBS satillites first. and that went ok, till a fantom ORBI showed up in my Orbi App. i then proceeded to update the RBR750, that went well till it said it was online but it wasnt. i followed the directions according to Furrye38, (ty) and i unplugged the sats and then the router, waited 2-3 minutes then i plugged in the router and then the sats and waited........it took a few minutes and the router came online then the sats followed. it still took some time for all my devices to get back on line (about 60), which is normal thing that has been happening. then today was the test. we had some heavy thunderstorms roll in, these south florida storms alway knock out some power or damages some weak transformers to were the power goes on and off real quick. it happened 3 times in a half hour i also have the comcast modem and the RBR750 plugged into a surge and battery back up. the weakest like here is the sats, no battery-back up for them and they used to take forever to re-sync but after the upgraded firmware last night, WOW, the ORBI's came right back online which shocked me, i thought i would need to reboot the sats. but no input from me and the whole system came back online quick. i am no IT guy here but this is a major inprovement from the previous firmware that almost killed the ORBI system. thanks to all here on this forum, i have learned alot from here.

I'm sitting here eating popcorn and reading comments about this new firmware, behind my trustworthy 8 year old Linksys router. My Orbi unit sits in a plastic bag behind my front door. Looking at it, it doesn't seem garbage, but trying to use it does. The positive side is, it didn't take 2 months from the previous alpha firmware to this one. From what i'm reading it is starting to look like a real beta version. A real improvement from the last one. But still, maybe not ready for prime time. I'll continue eating my popcorn and coming here to have a little fun, slowly because my router is old.
The latest trending subject is teaching everyone to backup the config file... Seems like you'll be needing it very much after every factory reset they will have you do. I must confess, its a little boring to watch the NG employees giving you all "help", making you go in circles every time. I'm past being mad. Now i'm just bored. I'll keep coming here to have fun until they fix it, or the cure to cancer becomes available. Whatever comes first.
