Orbi Firmware v3.2.10.11 seen on your RBRs FW update check page?
Just curious if anyone out here in the public forum are seeing this version pop up as available on there RBRs web page? IF so, please post what version of FW you currently have loaded. Up to y...
Problems seen on v10.11 since 3/9 have been addresses and fixed by NG. They reported that it was something having to do with there cloud systems. v10.11 FW was put back up on there auto update servers for users to download as of 3/19. These problems have been resolved.
If users are noticing any futher problems please make a new post about it or contact NG support.
Enjoy.
Weird all the issues. I didn't even notice the new FW until today and I'm not experiencing any issues. But I have to say, I'm not using a lot of functions. Just running wired backhaul and and in AP mode, mainly for wifi. All stable actually :)
Only hate there is no IGMP Snooping support so my stupid TV decoders won't crash when I want to watch programs back, doesn't work anymore since I have Orbi :(

If your RBS are wired, is there a switch in between the RBR and RBS? Or are the RBS directly wired to the RBR?
There seems to be one problem with v10.11 in AP Mode with using LAN switches between the RBR and RBS:
Not seen in router mode with LAN switches in between.

- 3.2.10.11 has been re released as the issue was found. Testing this AM.
Please kepp us updated. I went to Best Buy yesterday, 1 of the 10 people allowed in the store at a time and followed an employee in rubber gloves to pull an eero pro system off the shelf for me... Yep, that's the lengths I was willing to go through to get stable working wireless...
I have 5 Orbi bricks right now, 2 RB50 and 3 850 .AX units, what a joke this has been.
In comings updates for those interested:
Looks promising.
- Directly wired as what I wanted first doesn't work at all. Connect both Satellite and Router to Modem from internet provider. Your Satellite must be behind the Router wired otherwise it doesn't work, so it's cabled like that and I experience zero issues.
Wired backhaul on the original 3.2.10.11 firmware only works well in router mode. It's broken in AP mode, and the issue is easily reproducible. It might look like it's working, but it's not, clients end up falling back on the router or the non-wired satellites. The wired satellites eventually give up on the wired connection, and switch back 5G backhaul, even if they're wired. Creates all kinds of messes and unexpected ethernet loops if you happen to have a somewhat complex home network, as once they use 5G backhaul, the wired satellites then try to serve the wired clients they can see. In other words, they somehow think they're not connected to the wired network, and create another path into the same subnet.
AP mode does work, however if there is a switch in between the RBR and RBS, the RBS seems to not sync at all. Direct RBS to RBR with out the switch seems to work.
Hopefully NG will also fix this if they haven't already in this new FW push they are doing.
