@FURRYe38, you should know that the Orbi no longer auto-updates. Remember that discussion thread I opened when NETGEAR released that one version. Orbi operates now the same as their other routers in terms of firmware updates. Refer to that discussion thread again and let others know about it. I’ll post a link on this discussion thread in regards to how Netegear added the “Customer auto-update firmware pull” later when I have more time.
Hope this helps,

If and when I see the addition of the auto update switch published in release notes, only then will I update the router.

It shouldn't matter if I am a plug'n'play user or a computer scientist. It simply should work.
That is what I expect from netgear. Nothing less nothing more. Just the basic. It should work.
All the setups and tweaks and changes and configurations are fine and lovely if I as the user chooses to do so. But, in the bottom of it all, it should just ...work.
How many would buy a car, and accept that you constantly had to tweak the engine, thighten every bolt, position the car south to north, factory reset the car.... just to get it started... and constantly get updates on the cars engine- though you must install it yourself - and 90 days after purchase- the seller is no longer available for support - they only refere you to their other customers....

That said, I am dumbfounded to see the problems some have with the same hardware and firmware. The only thing that are different are the settings. I cannot fathom that settings would be at the root of this but these forums are proof of it.
The release notes for 48 say "Fixes the GUI display issue when the language is set to Japanese". To take your car analogy the manufacturer issues a recall because the tire pressure label on the door jamb is incorrect. They apply the new, corrected label after with the engine stalls. How can that be.
I said before that it appears the Netgear programmers are incompetent. Netgear should fire the entire team and start over.

Re: New Orbi RBR50/RBS50 Firmware Version 2.3.1.48
Ya I see that FW is available for download with in the FW update section. I didn't let the FW pull down. I manually applied the files as I already had them downloaded. I'll be checking the auto updater with my friends system as his has been autoupdating up to v210. I need to check to see if it's graduated beyond that or not. His has been running with ZERO problems since first day I set it up a couple of years ago. I need to see if anything has changed...

Re: New Orbi RBR50/RBS50 Firmware Version 2.3.1.48
This is one reason why I recommend that users if they update FW, even manually, factory reset and setup from scratch after new FW versions are applied, IF users are having problems. Some don't have problems, some do. I chose to avoid most of the hassle and bit the bullet and do a reset at each FW update. Setup from scratch then save off a new configuration to file for back up. I haven't seen much issues with this method for FW updates. I do agree that users should not have to resort to this kind of method to keep there systems running. However it is what it is. NG should address what is the root cause of all these issues surrounding each new FW and users seeing problems after updates and results of resets and setup from scratch that seems to fix most of the problems. It's either lingering bad code or bad configurations or mis-configurations that have come incompatible with the new FW thats being applied. Only when a reset and set up from scratch is performed do we see better operation.

Re: New Orbi RBR50/RBS50 Firmware Version 2.3.1.48
So if you have all satellites updated and reset. Pressing the sync button on each satellite and the sync button on the router doesn't add the satellites? One at a time?
Checking with the routers web page show connected satellite(s)?
I updated the one satellite I had from v1 FW to v44 and got it connected to the RBR. I just updated it manually yesterday to v48. I did a reset as well, and setup from scratch. The sync does seem to take a while. Pink was on top for a minute or two before the BLUE appeared.

Re: New Orbi RBR50/RBS50 Firmware Version 2.3.1.48
I have had this happen before, here is the solution that to the issue...
- Login into your Orbi router
- Navigate to the “Advanced” tab
- Go to “Advanced Settings”
- Go to Wireless Settings; under the “Backhaul Topology “ section of those settings, hit the “Generate” button. Sometimes the Orbi satellites will forget the backhaul password if the router (or vice versa) is off for a long period of time.
- Resync Satellites and they should all now appear in the router’s GUI. You’ll then be able to update them as you would.

Re: New Orbi RBR50/RBS50 Firmware Version 2.3.1.48
Let us know how it goes.
The system should come back for you. I would try one satellite at a time, work with one untill it's back online and working. Then turn it off and go to the next one. Do this untill each one is re-sync'd. Once there all done. Then go and place them in there remote locations and turn them on. I would disable Diasy chain first on the RBR, then turn on the satellites.

Re: New Orbi RBR50/RBS50 Firmware Version 2.3.1.48
Yes.
What are the devices at the following IPs?
192.168.1.2 and 192.168.10.###?
What is the Mfr and model of the ISP modem again?
The Orbi in Router or AP mode?
Please type in a text diagram of how you have the RBR connected to the ISP modem. Just so we know about this configuration.
Still using v44?

Re: New Orbi RBR50/RBS50 Firmware Version 2.3.1.48
My ISP is Altibox fiber network 500/500
My modem is FMG3542 - normally set in bridged mode, so the Orbi are normally set to ... Router mode? (Where do i locate that?)
192.168.1.2 are generally my first satelite. and 192.168.10. are unknown to me.
At the moment 192.168.1.2 are my main computer, as the RBR still won't locate the first RBS - even after following the conigurationsteps recommended

Re: New Orbi RBR50/RBS50 Firmware Version 2.3.1.48
Are you sure the modem is full bridge mode? The RBR should be seeing a public IP address, ##.##.###.### from the modem if fully bridged. Should not be a 192, 10 or maybe a 172 address on the WAN port of the Orbi.
If so, then the RBR should be in Router mode under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Router Mode.
What FW version is on the RBR and the RBS?
When your trying to sync the first RBS, is the distance about 4 feet. It can be this close while trying to add a satellite.
