On automatic update mode, my Orbi 971 doesn't find a firmware update but there is a newer version available on the site:RBE970 / RBE971 Firmware Version 9.12.3.3
Is it safe to update the system manually ? I now have V9.12.2.1_1.2.10
Would this fix disconnecting issues from wireless backhaul?
Kind regards
Ger

Recommend a power cycle of the system OFF then back ON. Give about 10 minutes and enjoy. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Re: Is it safe to update manually RBE970 / RBE971 Firmware Version 9.12.3.3
This firmware was released June 3, 2024. See the release notes:

Safe? Solves issues? Too early to tell (in my opinion)

Thx for your quick reply.
Do you know why the update doesn't show up in the automatic update mode?
Maybe it is not compatible in the Netherlands?

Updsate:
Well, I just upgraded the firmware (manually) on the 970 and 971 units. No problem so far.
