Thanks!
Just manually updated the satellite and router (RBK852) & all seems well...will report any issues I come across as I inspect things....
Curious, what is the "Supports the new device notification feature?"
Me as well. Maybe something do to with the Orbi app? I didn't see anything in UI that stood out. Just that wifi devices are being reported as wireless even though they are connected to a wired RBS.
Wireless speed results with a Mac Book Pro (AC):
Updated just fine on multiple 850's and satellites (2 separate installs)
I'll also recommend users check there 5Ghz channel, NG doesn't recommend using 36 anymore for some reason. Seems to cause some problems if used as I noticed after loading mine yesterday that 36 was selected from what I had on 40. My Echo Dot would not work right until I change the RBR to use channel 40. All working now. So if you seen to see some wifi problems, try manual channel 40.
