That explains the mysterious disconnections overnight at 2:38 AM PDT! Is there still no option to disable the autoupgrade? 😞 So far, no issues. Guest still works well.

    I can only assume I got the upgrade. I cannot use the app on android or a browser on my desktop to admin. How do get into the admin now?

      192.168.1.1 doesn't work in a browser on a wire connected PC? 


      I would factory reset the RBR and walk thru the setup wizard. If you have the files at the ready, after the system is setup, update the RBS first using there web page, then the RBR lastly.

        Hi - I downloaded the firmware earlier today and have just popped it on this evening.  Manual method, connected to RBS webpage and uploaded to that one first.  I then did the RBR from the main webpage.  Had a weird issue with the RBR in that as soon as I clicked "upload" it said it was done / reporting v4.6.8.2 as the firmware.  Needless to say I didn't believe it. 😁

         

        Repeated the task on the RBR and sure enough it said "you do realise I'm already on v4.6.8.2" but I continued anyway and this time it correctly uploaded, took a few minutes, and then rebooted.  So not quite sure what happened the first time around.


        Powered them both down for 2 minutes as per guidance and just powered on the RBR first, followed by the RBS.

         

        All working again. 😎

         

        Will report any issues if I find any over the coming days.


        Thanks.

      I have the same issue. I can't access the orbi router after selecting routerlogin.net. It says that this site can't be reached. So I don't have a chance to login at all.

        I had the same problem with mine when I first bought it.

         

        try plugging directly into it from a computer and enter 192.168.1.1 or possibly 192.168.0.1 into a browser.
