Maybe I’m just lucky but my RBK852 has not hiccuped once since this fw update. I did factory reset after the latest update and set up it again from scratch (didn’t use a backup settings file) so I’m not sure if that’s a reason why but I haven’t had any slowdown/disconnects/drop-offs or any other issues with this update that many others are experiencing.

Do you use your ORBI as AP or as ROUTER because once I started using it as ROUTER the problems started.
It was reported the AP mode helped alleviate problems seen in router mode.
You may need to factory reset the system and power the system OFF as well.

I am using for my LAN setup another ip-range than the usual (like xx.xx.xx.xx for router IP, Address with IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0), however I see some devices attached with Ip numbers in the normal range (192.168.2.0 etc) which is outside the range I am using. Shouldn't that not be possible at all?
Still strugling btw with fall-outs. I am now trying with the wireless sattelite (which often had backhaul status poor) moved to a place where it can be wired (now both my sattelites are backhaul wired with status good
"(like xx.xx.xx.xx for router IP," < This should not be the IP address for the routers IP on the LAN side. Is this the IP address for the WAN port? The IP address for the routers LAN side should be a 192.168.something.1.
"I see some devices attached with Ip numbers in the normal range (192.168.2.0 etc)" < Do you have Guest Network enabledf?
