New RBR850 / RBS850 Firmware Version 3.2.7.2

---

Thank you

Nice to see that the bug is fixed when Ethernet backhaul used to take 20 minutes to stabilize. This confirms that my RBK 850 is not defective and I was not doing something wrong when I was having problems RBR 850 connected to RBS 850 through Ethernet.

I just checked and it had automatically updated earlier both the Satellite and the Router.

All my 35 plus attached devices are working and it remembered the IP address I reserved for Raspberry Pi. Mine is in Wired backhaul and my wired desktop works at 100% capacity getting 950Mbps. Next to the Satellite, 20 feet away iphone Xs Max link rate is 866Mbps and ookla speed test is 600-650 Mbps.  iphone 6 link rate is 780 Mbps on the phone app and ookla connects to the internet at 400Mbps. Next to the Router the number are the same. I can't wait to get and test the new iphone 11 with WiFi6.

• The 2.4 GHz wireless network is disabled if the Wi-Fi HT20/HT-40 Coexist function is disabled
• The 2.4 GHz guest network does not work if WiFi security is set to WPA3-Personal

Known Issues:

• The Orbi app allows configuring unsupported Wi-Fi security types (WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode)

Also can be seen in the Orbi app. Download the files first for safe keeping. Try the update from the Orbi app first. If it doesnt' work, then you have the FW files saved. 

 

If the RBK852 doesn't continue to work correctly after the FW update, perform a factory reset on the RBS and RBR and setup from scratch. Also if you manually load the FW files, you can do a factory reset and setup from scratch as a suggested method. 

 

Let us know how it works for you...
