Orbi RBR50/RBS50 - Cannot downgrade firmware

My Orbi is currently at firmware version 2.5.0.38. Well... the whole "device naming fiasco" is driving me nuts, so I came here for answers. Looks like the consensus is to live with it or downgrade ...

    Thanks to both CrimpOn and FURRYe38 for your replies.

    What ended up working for me was to use the web interface on a laptop hard wired to each satellite.  After both satellites were downgraded, I successfully downgraded the router.

    I'm back to firmware version 2.3.5.34 on all 3 devices now.

    Thats works too. Glad it's all working now. 

     

    Be sure to make a back up configuration to file for safe keeping on the RBR. 

     

    Enjoy. :smileywink:
