New RBK852/853 Firmware v3.2.9.2 Release
New Features and Enhancements: Supports connecting two satellites to the Orbi network Bug Fixes: The Orbi app was not able to show the guest client’s link rate if the Orbi was operating in AP m...
I have found one odd piece of behavior with the new update.
On my system I have 1 x RBR850, 1 x RBS850 and 2 x RBS50s.
The RBS50s are hard wired. The RBS850 is RF Backhauled.
Since the update to this version, the RBS850 reports itself as hard wired even though it is not. It reports this in both the Web GUI as well as the App.
I have rebooted with no change to effect and checked it again after 12 hours -- still the same.
Anyone else see this behavior?
I'll check mine again, however list time I looked both my RBS reported wirelessly connected since both of mine are wirelessly connected.
I have rebooted both satellites as well as router, given them plenty of time to settle in.
It still shows the RBS 850 satellite as hard wired although it is RF Backhauled.
The two RBS50s are hard wired and it shows them properly.
Any ideas on how to unscrew this?
Both App and gui show the satellite hard wired, so it isnt an interface glitch.
How does this get reported to Netgear?
I forgot to check mine.
Try this, turn OFF the entire system. This time, turn ON only the RBR850 and RBS850, leaving the RBS50 OFF. Any change?
Will give that a shot tonight.
I had tried -- after the system came up and stabilized -- turning just the RBS 850 off and then back on with no effect.
One of the interesting artifacts is that in the network diagram (In the App), before this Firmware version, it would show the first "leg" off of the RBR850 was the RBS850 -- then the RBS50 -- then the other RBS50.
Now it does the three legs with the RBS50's first and then the RBS850.
This makes me think that perhaps your approach may have some value. Will let you know.
Thanks
