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.
Stay away. My ethernet backhaul is no longer working. Ugh...
I've actually had some success with this firmware version on a RBK752 system. However, I have an Ethernet backhaul, and I never experienced the satellite disconnect issues that others have posted about. What I did have previously was endpoint loss-of-connection when moving from the main router to a satellite (e.g., iPhone moving around the house). I would lose connectivity despite having very strong Wifi signals, so it was some kind of handoff failure. Prior to this version, the problem occurred in all 4- version firmware, regardless of changes in settings (and I tried many). That appears to be resolved. I also get fairly consistent test results using the Orbi internal speed test now, which in my case is about 1400Mbs.
i updated the latest firmware and i thought one of the fixes was for the satellite to stop cycling through the various stages to connecting to the router.
i am using RBK752 and added a satellite - the satellites are frequently lit blue. I guess lit blue is better than being lit magenta!
oh well - so much for the firmware fix. The satellites are properly spaced. We do live in NYC in an apartment..
Can you log in to the RBS web page then see if the front LED turns OFF? BLUE should be ON for about 3 minutes then should turn OFF.
Whats that RBS status seen on the RBRs web page?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? A complete pull of the power adapters for a period of time after the factory reset then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch.
I would power OFF the ISP modem for 1 minute. Factory reset the Orbi router and power it off. Power ON the ISP modem and let it sync. Then power ON the Orbi router and walk thru the setup wizard again using a wired PC and a web browser.

The ISP modem has nothing to do with the issues Orbi has. The only time you need to consider the ISP modem is conenctivity to the services it provides.
