      I noticed that with this firmware update the "Seal" and "Seal Services" also were updated 

       

      Seal went from v2.1.5.21-0 to v2.1.5.28-0

      Seal Services went from v2.1.5.9-0 to v2.1.5.10-0

       

      Question:  What are the functions of these two components? (Seal & Seal Services)?

        KMDonlon JoshDi - Did you update the firmware of them first and cycle reboot? Both my Orbi Satellite are correctly showing as..

        Hardware Version: RBS850
        Firmware Version : V4.6.7.13


        I have found a couple of bugs however:

        Bug #1 - When you login the Satellites and check the device list under them. Wifi devices aren't displaying their IP Address or Name correctly.

        For login to Orbi Router Admin > Attached Devices

        All appears correct and valid (including all the wired and wifi devices listed on each of the Orbi Satellites)


        Yet login to a Orbi Satellite (1 or 2) Admin > Connected Devices

        IP Address: -
        Device Name: Unknown
        Mac Address: (MAC Address)
        Connection Type: 5G

        Some show up with the valid details correctly if on Connection Type: wired, it appears to be the Wifi 5G devices affected?


        Bug #2 - With Web Services Management > Always Use HTTPS to Access Router = ENABLED

        For login to Orbi Router Admin using //192.168.1.1, it will popup prompt for login on the HTTP then redirects to HTTPS and prompts for it again. You would have to go directly to https://192.168.1.1 to prevent this.

        For the login to each Orbi Satellite it's similar, yet will allow either HTTP or HTTPS to connect. There's no redirect.


        Both these bugs are minor and haven't affected it as such as they have work arounds. The bugs are from using any web-browser (Microsoft Edge, Firefox or Google Chrome) on Win 11 Desktop. Both Orbi Satellites are linked to the Orbi Router (not chained). The NetGear Orbi App appears to show the router and satellite device details fine from a smartphone.
