Hey guys,
What suggestions do you have on what firmware to run to minimize any issues? Any specific settings?
Thanks!

Re: New Orbi RBK50 - Suggested Firmware and Settings
I set up my friends 50 series using this process:
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the Orbi is connected too?
Any network LAN switches in the mix? if so, what is the Mfr and model of the switch?

I will double check on the cable modem model, but it is a Spectrum setup cable modem 3.1 docsis no wifi cabapilities. No switches in between. This is replacing my Cisco 1602e setup.

Ok just checking for a router built into the modem. Stand alone modem is preferred. If your not using any switches, thats fine. If you do, just make sure they are NON Managed switches.
You should be fine if you want to follow what I did on my friends system.

Just plugged it up and rebooted my cable modem. Followed the setup through browser and let it upgrade on its own. Satellite upgraded fine on its own. Speed test 450/23 on my 400/20 Spectrum plan. So far so good on coverage throughout the house and in my yard, half acre property. Let's see if it stays stable.
