Update went smooth, no issues so far.
I've had the RBR850 and 1 satellite since they came out. I've been checking for updates via the ORBI iOS app and there never seemed to be any, so I thought the auto-update feature must be working.
Not until I began to look for information on the RBR850 support for VLANs did I discover that, in fact, there have been firmware updates. Many firmware updates, none of which my RBR850 received.
Here's the 'before' portion via the AP's admin screen from today:
And after a manual update:
Now, my Orbis sit behind a pfSense security gateway, but the Orbi's are not prevented from going out to the WAN via a firewall rule.
Is there a reasonable explanation other than a problem with the Netgear's update process?
