New - RBR850 / RBS850 Firmware Version 7.2.6.31 Released

Hi,

Does anyone know what features were added and fixes were made to the Orbi App in conjunction with this firmware release?  In the app notes it requires to upgrade to this firmware but doesn't say what would consequently be improved in the app.

Can look at the app notes to see what is posted there. Usually not much details are given sorry to say. 🙄

The release notes usually describe changes to the features and fixes, but there is also the usually "security" catchall. They don't talk about that for obvious reasons. It leaves the door open for crooks who are trying to get in through a different security hole.

Not obvious at all (to me, anyway).  Notice what Microsoft published on May 14, 2024:
