New v3.2.15.25 FW update seen in Orbi App Today...
Have a friend stating that he's seeing v3.2.15.25 appearing as a FW upate for the orib 850 series in the Orbi app. Anyone else? Nothing posted to the manual download site. And look wha...
Updated both the RBR and RBS 850 via the GUI. At this time there is no manual update/download from the NG downloads website. The new firmware showed up in my recently updated Orbi app for iOS and in the GUI. The firmware update was done without a hitch. After the firmware update I did a complete wipe (pressing in the reset button on both the RBR and RBS until it started flashing amber) then setup the Orbi system from scratch using the Orbi app which went off without a hitch. I use my RBK852 in AP mode and not router mode. No release notes available yet. My speed test via the Orbi app works great in AP mode by the way FURRYe38-it is behind a RAX200 at the moment.
Thats one thing I didn't do. Was a reset. Ill try a reset and check speed test again.
Ok, confirmed Speed test is working on the RBRs web page an on Orbi app after a factory reset and setup AP mode from scratch.
Another case of when a reset is needed after a FW update. :smileywink:
Also was able to test router mode today.
NAT Filter set to OPEN is still broke:

Seeing port address restricted instead of FULL CONE NAT.
However two xbox ones are reporting OPEN NAT with in xbox advanced networking settings sucessfully while NAT Filter is set to Secure. This is finally working better. However since NAT Filter is broke when set to OPEN, two xbox consoles playing the same game at the same time will not see OPEN NAT while in the GAME, one game will have a status of open while the other will have Moderate or maybe strict. Both games could see moderate nat based on how the game is detecting NAT conditions.
So after all this I'm back in AP mode with the RBR while RBS are ethernet connected.
Also default CTS/RTS values are still 64 after a factory reset, so for those of you who see problems with wifi devices, change it to 2347 and try again. I guess this maybe the new norm for Orbi AX.
