yes, my sat also shows RBS750 instead of RBS850
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 DevicesIP Address: -
Device Name: Unknown
Mac Address: (MAC Address)
Connection Type: 5GSome 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 = ENABLEDFor 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.I also upgraded to 4.6.7.13.
No problems so far regarding connection issues and stability.
But a strange thing, the Chromecast which is wired in his room does not show on either app or on the web based interface (Router).
(It works perfectly though)
Furthermore my 2 Philips Hue bridges show up as wired on the web based interface, but I can't see them in the app??

I'm also seeing this, and I saw the same behaviour in 4.6.7.5.
Some other minor bugs I've observed that I'd log to log here:
1) The web interface and Orbi app do not always display details of connected devices correctly. For instance I have a Ring doorbell which is consistently shown in both places as having a wired connection to the router. This is not correct, in fact the device in question has a 5GHz connection to one of my satellites, and this can be confirmed by looking at the list of devices on the satellite itself. So there is an inconsistency there. (Same behaviour also observed in 4.6.7.5).
2) The web interface occasionally shows my wireless satellite as "Out of sync" for a few seconds when I first load the page. There's no problem with the satellite itself, and it always reverts to "Good" after a few seconds, it just appears to be the web page catching up. I haven't seen this behaviour prior to this release.
3) One of my satellites booted up with the 2.4GHz band "disabled" (although active on the router and the other satellite) which as far as I am aware shouldn't be possible. This was fixed with a reboot. Again I haven't seen this behaviour prior to this release.
However these are all minor issues, and the day-to-day operation of the Orbi system is still solid, so in general I'm very happy with this release. Hopefully this more minor bugs can be ironed out in time.
re your "out of sync" bug. I also had one satellite that reported that after the upgrade (perhaps not insignificantly it was the satellite I bought separately, i.e. not part of a pre-synced set). I did a pin reset of it and now it is perfectly fine.
