    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
