ORBI RB50 keeps blocking devices
My not even a month old Orbi decided to block 2 devices from the network. Everything was fine until I upgraded firmware (from 2.4.something -> 2.7.2.102). 2 devices - one being my cellphone and one h...
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? Maybe time for one.
Had the same problem with that firmware and a couple of others. I reset and setup from scratch numerous times but it made no difference. Went back to 2.6.1.40 and it's been solid for at least 2 months with no random blocked devices weirdness.
You in the US region or outside? If your in outside the US regon, v2.7 versions are not meant for those regions. v40 would be most current version for ALL regions outside of the US region.

I'm in the US. I was one who had their firmware autoupdate magically overnight by netgear last summer or fall which caused me a load of headaches. I think that was 2.5.4.something. So when 2.7 came out, I jumped on it only to end up in even worse shape. Otherwise I wouldn't have touched it.
just curous....what does this actually mean..."magically overnight"
Well have seen others with problems that have had NG auto updates pushed to there systems. Usually a manual re-load of FW using actual FW files helps with this. Seems that thus auto push update causes more problems then anything. Why I manually udpdate using FW files most of the time. Sometimes I reset and setup from scratch. This last v102 I let the system download the files using the RBRs web page and selected Update ALL. Powered OFF for 30 seconds then back ON. System has been stable and online since:

Has your system ever failed because of a NG auto push?
