echo dot won't connect since I updated my orbi firmware

I recently updated my firmware to V2.3.5.30. Ever since, I cannot get my echo dot (2nd generation) to connect. It worked perfectly fine before the upgrade

    Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

    What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz.

     

    What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

     

    I have an echo dot as well connected with my system.
