(It's sort of trivia, anyway), can anyone report what software the AX series Orbi is based on?

 

The RBR50, for example, appears to be built on OpenWRT.  From the debug log:

DISTRIB_ID='OpenWrt'
DISTRIB_RELEASE='Chaos Calmer'
DISTRIB_REVISION='r6043'
DISTRIB_CODENAME='chaos_calmer'
DISTRIB_TARGET='ipq806x/generic'
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION='OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05.1'
DISTRIB_TAINTS='no-all'
