RBK850 Series - Firmware Update v4.6.3.9 - Issue with wired satellites

I see that there is a new firmare for RBK850 to enable parental control. The firmware is v4.6.3.9.

I downloaded this firmware and installed it.

The only "nasty" issue I see with this firmware is that wired satellites don't work. 🙂 The wireless satellites work well.

Otherwise all is so far so good.

Factory reset of the Router solved the problem with wired satellites. 🙂

It's important to know that downgrading back to v3.2.x.x is not possible in the Orbi Router. The Satellites are ok to downgrade.

So once you upgrade to v4.6.3.9, it seems that you will be stuck on that firmware.

Also note that Orbi Router v4.6.3.9 will work with Satellites on v3.2.x.x. All Satellites will appear as disconnected.
