Keep an eye on things. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Thanks for the quick reply! Ended up upgrading the fw on 2x satellites and router this afternoon. So far so good. Time will tell.

Guys - I am mac user, downloaded the Firmware and updated the 2 satellites. Looking to update the Router but could not find the ".img" files in download. All I see is 2 file .chk when I unzip the downloaded zip file. I did try to update router with same .chk file used for satellites but both tries failed.
Let me know, how to get this fixed.
Thank you.

Nevermind, I was able to update router. 2 sat & 1 router updated to v4.6.7.5. Lets see how this performs.

The bug stays, after reboot the router says satellites are connected via wire, which is definiteley wrong. After some minutes it shows 5G...
I see a different behaviour of my wifi-devices. If they reach the router, they connect to the router and not to the satellites, even if they are way more closer. My appletv and all of my homepods in the living room are connecting to the router at the other end of the house, while the satellite is in visual range, 3 meters from all these devices away. I don't get it. This makes no sense. This is new and was different on previous firmwares...

I've seen the wire status as well even though my RBS is wireless connected. Only lasts for seconds then finally changes to the wireless status. Possible this maybe a in progress and web page update and refesh thing. I wouldn't worry too much about it as long as the status gets changed to the correct state.
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)?
Ttry turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
