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.

Updated firmware???

My hopes, dreams, and wishes are that I receive the new router with the latest firmware already installed and it works out of the box. I know it will not be so but a guy can dream right?
I will go today and sit on Santa's lap ask him for a firmware updated router for Christmas. This way I have all my bases covered as I already prayed for it.

Hi
Without reading every page in this thread, I gather there has been some issues with latest firmware, Im planing on purchasing this mesh system soon, what exactly is the issue, and I presume it will get fixed?
Thanks

I would personally not buy this mesh system. The issues people are suffering have been around a very long time and you'll be sent down a rabbit hole trying to resolve them.
That said not everyone who bought this mesh will have problems, but I personally wouldn't take the risk especially considering the high price for these, and there are other products with similar range and speed that don't lock you down so much, so at least with others if there are issues you can usually find a working firmware
