Orbi MR 2.1 Update 3/23/18
Our teams are still working through the issues, but I wanted to provide a quick update on OrbiOS 2.1. We usually wait to release our software until it's available across all Orbi product lines, but ...
Still shows for the RBK50 — Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi System / RBK50

Some have reported being auto-updated to v2.1.3.4 on this board and I saw v2.1.3.4 in the UI as the new firmware version. However, I am still on 2.1.2.18 and the UI no longer shows a newer firmware version as available.

Yeah, but try anything OTHER than "RBK50", such as "RBK53" or "RBR50", and you will not get v2.1.3.4 but an earlier version. Also, as I mentioned previously, I was seeing v2.1.3.4 as a new version in the UI but am not seeing that any longer (v2.1.2.18 is showing as current).
Which model do you have?
I see this has been updated to include more models:

"We’re not yet going to push this release this for auto-firmware upgrade, and will let you know before we do. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Support."
So what some saw in a auto update may have been in error thus they pulled it from the auto update. I presume.

I have the RBK53, which I bought from Costco and is just a set of one RBR50 and two RBS50s. As I wrote previously, it's just weird that v2.1.3.4 would be on the download site (under RBK53) yesterday but not currently and it being offered in the UI yesterday but now the UI indicates v2.1.2.18 is current.
