      Same update rolled out to my RBR750 and so far it looks like it might include the NAT Filter Fix.  Both my Xboxes were showing as Open NAT with a Full Cone NAT at the same time.  I'm not getting Double NAT issues anymore either, so I'm cautiously optimistic.  Waiting for my buddy to test some multiplayer out.

        Awesome to hear. DO you have the NAT Filter set to OPEN?

    A Big Negative here too. Tried Chrome on Android and Waterfox Classic, Vivaldi and Safari on macOS 10.14.6 (Beta Security Patch). Can't use Chrome on desktop, Orbi IPA is not HTTPS secure.

     

    Looked at the Support Page, No Joy.

      FYI, I updated mine today. Did a dirty update instead of factory reset and setup from scratch. I just went online with it in router mode. RBR came up quickly and all my devices connected with out any problems thus far. RBS is wired and showing wired connection

       

      I can confirm NAT Filter is fixed now for those gamers with two or more game consoles:

      Speeds are good too:

      I'll check for any DNS issues. DNS is automatic for me. 

       

      Orbi app is connecting and working.

        FURRYe38  I think my setup is kinda close to yours. You mentioned in some other posts that your setup is relatively stable now on the older fw. What do u have for the usual settings?

         

        -  Enable 20/40mhz coexistence

        - Enable WMM for both 2.4/5G

        - preamble 2.4/5G

        - CTS/RTS 2.4/5G

        -  Enable AX 2.4/5G

        - DNS Auto/manual

         

        Think I'll be fine if I mimic your settings lol
