    Manual updating of Orbi 853 (two satellites, then router) went smoothly. Looks good under router admin and device connection list (devices all named correctly and working). Speed test around the same in performance.

     

    Firmware Version: V4.6.14.3_2.3.12

    DOWNLOAD Mbps: 940.11
    UPLOAD Mbps: 519.27
    Ping ms: 2 / Down: 17 / Up: 7

     

    Firmware Version: V7.2.6.21_5.0.20

    DOWNLOAD Mbps: 939.44
    UPLOAD Mbps: 519.48
    Ping ms: 2 / Down: 12 / Up: 6

     

    Next updating the Orbi App on smartphone. Multiple older devices found listed as disconnected, but could be removed easily. The devices actually connected updated names accordingly, appearing all valid.


    So far so good! Thanks for finally releasing it.
