Not showing up on the NG server yet. Had to manually install-RBS850 FIRST-then RBR850 followed by a hard reset and fresh install-do not use previous config files. Here are the links:RBR850http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RBK852/RBR850-V3.2.11.2_1.2.13.zip RBS850http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RBK852/RBS850-V3.2.11.2_1.2.13.zip

I should have mentioned that if you factory reset the values will be changed to 64. I factory reset my RBR. :smileywink:

I was able to manually update the router fine, but unable to update my two satellites. Prompts for the user name/password but will not accept the correct user/password combination from the router. Tried resetting both satellites and reconnecting to the router, no luck. So now I have mismatched firmware, with the router on the updated version and the satellites on the older version.

Today when I updated, I hit the same thing. Out of habit, I've left my Username the default, "admin". So I wiped my password and tried the default, "password" and it worked. I got right in. A couple of weeks ago when I did a "Pin-Hole Rest" after reverting the FW back to 10.11 from 10.13T, I rebooted the RBR and still had problems with the RBS2 joining the network and several other problems. Usually they may take a couple of minutes to jump on, but... Then when it did, it wouldn't take any other user assigned name through the Orbi App than "Satillite-2". It seems to be slowly coming around after doing the unthinkable, which I've been doing a lot lately, and in this case, used the backup settings file from the previous 10.11 install. Once reinstalled things worked better than when inputting the settings from scratch. But it was the default NG logins that got me in.

This seems to be a minor FW update vs Major. NG only seems to push major versions of FW so this version may not be pushed to the auto update servers. Which is ok. Manual updating works well.

  What were the problems to begin with using 3 Orbi Satellites that are connected to the Orbi router?
  I am successfully using 3 wired satellites for many months now, 1 RBS 850 and 2 RBS50.
  Router is in Router mode.

Well sad to say that v11.2 doesn't fix RBS status in the RBRs UI when in AP Mode with a LAN switch in between the RBR and RBS. Still broke here. :smileysad: Take the LAN switch out and RBS status appears correctly in the RBRs web page and Orbi app with RBS directly connected ethernet to the back of the RBR. :smileywink:

Happy to report that in router mode on the RBR with a LAN switch in the middle and the RBS ethernet connected to the switch status reports correctly on the RBRs web page and in the Orbi app. :smileyhappy:

  Also default values for CTS and RTS are at 64 in this version again. So for those of you seeing problems after you update, besure to set 2346 or 7.

    Just upgraded and my CTS/RTS values remained at 2347 as I previously had them set up. Weird yours changed back.
