Should I upgrade my firmware? I am on 2.3.5.30
Subject says it all. I have been on 2.3.5.30 and resisting to upgrade. I manually splitted my 2.4/5GHz channels so they have different SSID's, and I disabled auto firmware updates.
Should I stay with 2.3.5.30, or is there any newer firmware that is as stable as 2.3.5.30?

Stay on 2.3.5.30. I have two Orbi's. The one in my house is currently on 2.5.1.16 and "works fine." However, I left it "stock". The one across the country (where I have been unable to visit) remains on 2.5.5.30 and "works fine."
We have sort of a mantra, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Unless there is "something wrong" with your Orbi that the release notes claim have been addressed, leave well enough alone.
Sorry to be strident, but you did ask.

If you do choose to upgrade, manually download the FW files and install them with a wired PC and web browser:
Always upgrade the RBS first then the RBR lastly.
Good Luck.

Still on 2.3.5.30 also. Tried 2.5.1.8 but the device icons are cartoonish and it still doesn't fix what i want - readyshare file sharing on the router USB port and a faster web server for the admin UI.
