Automatic Firmware update - orbi RBR50

[amd2100]

Hi

My orbi RBR50 firmware updated to 2.2.1.210 last year. I have some problems after that.

1. In here sometime electricity down. after electricity come back my orbi router will work. but I cannot connect my devices. And I can see guest WiFi on my WiFi list. Even its switch off I can see the guest WiFi. So I switch on the guest WiFi and switch off and again I restart my router. Then guest WiFi will dissappear. I just want to know why It's happening like that.

2. WiFi is drop randomly and connect. don't know why it's happening.

3. My firmware is 12.2.1.210. I updated it last year. And since then I check updates my router says I already updated to the latest firmware. But orbi website update version is very latest. So I want to know why my router not update to the latest version automatically? Do I need to update it manually?

Hi Amd2100,

   Just by chance do you have Circle Parental controls enabled? 

If so, you have two choices, leave a dedicated machine open with the Connection status popup open and when wifi devices lose internet click renew and all devices regain connectivity or wait 5 10minutes and it restores itself.

The second option disable Circle and at least for me, the network is rock solid.

No circle parenting is off. don't know suddenly drop the WiFi and counting. And why my firmware is not update?

I would update to v32 on yoru system. You need to install v32 ON the satellites FIRST, then update the RBR to v212 then v32 lastly. I would factory reset the RBR after updating and setup from scratch.
