Ya, usually takes a day or two for it to appear in the section down below. 🙄
So manually loaded my 8 series last evening using a wired PC and MS edge. RBS first then RBR lastly. RBS were near or in same room as RBR and wirelessly connected for the FW upgrade.
After system was back online from processing the FW update, I powered OFF the RBS and RBR for 1 minute then back ON with the RBR first then RBS. No factory reset was performed.
System came back online successfully.
Checked RBS connected directly to the back of the RBR via ethernet and eventually they appeared as wired RBS on the RBRs web page.
Connected a wired device to the back of each RBS and those appeared in there connected devices list successfully.
Checking current version Orbi app, iPhone and Android pad reported successful connections to the system and reported the RBS and devices correctly. Speed test with Orbi app was successful and to spec.
Currently using manual channels 11 and 48. Power set to 25% as to not create too much noise with my CAX80.
Using default DHCP IP address pool size of .100 to .200.
No Armor, SPC or Traffic meter features are enabled.
Will let this run for a bit. Will put it in place as main home system this weekend.
A quick comment, RBK853 updated to 4.6.14.3 (RBR and 2 RBS).
Everything is working OK, except Anywhere Access (from the app on iPhone v2.21.1.353) is unable to connect to the router.
When using WiFi (Connected Locally) the app is working correctly.
This was working correctly on previous firmware versions on the same hardware.
Regards Leo.
Thank you for this.
For any Orbi app issues, please post here:

- Not seeing the update in the web gui yet.
I’ll at least wait until it does, and probably also wait for a few more reports. You may not see this update thru the Orbi system as this is a minor update, not a major one that would appear there. So you can wait for a major one, manually load this one or keep using what you currently have. "if it works, don't fix it!"

The firmware was not found via auto upgrade, but manually uploading the firmware for the two sats first and then the router worked without any issues so far.
Be sure to save off a new back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Updated to 4.6.14.3 with no issues. Satelittes first and then router lastly.
So far stable as with previous F.W

Updating this to report I changed my 8 series from AP mode to router mode yesterday. No issues seen with AP mode so I wanted to try router mode.
I saw some odd issues with some apps not being able to either get connected or app updates not being able to connect to there app services. I had a R9000 router also online and it's wifi running at low power. I turned wifi off on the R9000 and seems to have corrected this odd behavior seen when connected to the 8 series Orbi system. Will keep monitoring.
RBR is connected to a CAX80 in modem only mode on it's 2.5Gb WAN port.Orbi app is working. Also Orbi app Anywhere access is working from remote location:
