Nothing posted to the manual download site.
And look what finally showed up: :smileysurprised:
I have. But what threw me was the "Update" of the ORBI App with the Armor Tile and all the refined graphics and additional Device Icons for Connected Devices. Without any notification . . . I thought the "Update" button in the App was to update it again or to load a Final Release. Nope, it was a FW Update.
Also for users of the Armor app, for any questions, help needs or problems seen with this app, NG has a Armor app forum located here:

Please make your posts there regarding anything Armor related.

Thank you.
If users decide to update there Orbi 850 systems thru the Orbi app, if users notice problems after the update, please factory reset the system and setup from scratch if you encounter any problems. Make sure the system clears out any lingering FW configurations from prior FW version that may cause problems.
Thank you.- How do you factory reset?
My devices are faster using mobile vs WiFi after the update.
The iOS app updated from the App Store today also, FYI.Skeelo, take a paper clip and straighten one end-find a small hole on the back of the RBR/RBS unit near the power input. Gently push the straightened paper clip into the small hole (reset) until you feel a click-hold that until the light (formerly green now amber) flashes amber then you are done with the reset-do this procedure to BOTH units before setting up from scratch using the recently updated Orbi app. Make sure in your wireless settings that the CTS/RTS is changed to 2347 vice the default 64. Also, I use WiFi Explorer to analyze my wireless network as it not only shows your network but your neighbors as well-make sure there are no channel conflicts-get as much channel separation as possible from surrounding wireless signals to avoid degradation of your wireless signal.
