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 want to try one more thing, I'll try to backup my settings, factory reset devices and run on the latest firmware. I saw some reports that people have zero issues with the latest version and it seems that they did factory reset. Just wanted to validate.

NOTE: Have the prior RBS and RBR FW files already downloaded to your PC. You'll need to downgrade each RBS first normally, then RBR lastly using this link info:

good luck, i tried this as well but after about 6 hours it started again. i also tried to disable the internal dhcp (in route mode) plugedin a opnsense interface to do the dhcp and dns. because i saw in the orbi overview when it wasn t running that sometime another ip adress was show on the satelite (which wasn t from my subnets ). but also this wasn t working stable. on top i messared the roundtrip to the satelites, if they are working then its about 3-10ms (through the wireless backhaul) but if i look to the measurement during the day sometimes it goes up to 500ms to 1000ms. there are about 20 devices atm connected so this should nt be much stressful for the system.
