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.
