No I did factory reset via the gui when I downgraded to an earlier version. Will that also reset the satellite or is there a difference to reset using paper clip method?
Ok, I think I understand. Let me say it back to confirm:
You did a factory reset via the gui on the router and a factory reset on the satellite via the paper clip.
Then you did a manual load of the 2.1.1.16 firmware on both the router and the satellite?
I think the gui button factory reset and the paper clip factory reset do the same things. I do not think the gui reset on the router also resets the satellite.
So, up time 1.5 days. Thought all was well. Foxtel Now (wired) started to buffer up, thought it might be Foxtel. But then watched Arsenal Liverpool on Optus Fetch (wired) and that started giving bandwidth warnings to me when the score was 3-3. Never before had that happen with Fetch watching the EPL. So rebooted Orbi router and now buffering gone.
Sigh. Really needs to be more reliable.
