Update from me on this firmware. After using sometime I was getting rpoblems with wired devices. These devices did no longer get connection. Power cycle of the (non managed) switch resolved the issue. Howerv it returned then suddenly I noticed that my Andorid S10 phone (latest firmware) did no longer get good connection to the Wifi (no internet and no data).
Switching off router and satellites did only fix it for a few minutes and then issues start re-occuring. Other HW also wired connected did not get any internet anymore.
Full reset of the system (by using the reset button on the back) and then restore fixed everything anf the system is working again. It looks like it corrupted somewhere.
Another great experience of Orbi. I decided to purchase another system and will sell this. Too many issues
Can you configure the ISP hardware to handle PPPoE instead of Orbi?
Leting the RBR just DHCP instead?
Might try AP Mode with the RBR if you can put a router in front of the RBR by chance.
Also try DMZ on the ISP modem/ONT/Router as well for the RBR in router mode.
Well RBS and connected devices is working but Device Names is still "Unknown":
RBS50 is ethernet connected to the RBR using GS1 series switches.
Also had a first hiccup yesterday on the RBR50. All wifi and wired connections stopped to the internet. Opened Orbi app and found it was OFFLINE. I did a reboot of the RBR from the Orbi app and it returned to being ONLINE. I disabled Circle after that and will see if this happens again. Traffic Meter and DST are still enabled. Haven't seen other problems up to this point.
Other than this, RBK50 has been good.
