2.3.5.30 - ORBI - Firmware AutoUpdate? Severe Problems with Satellite
Someone could help me in order to know why my devices appear with the referenced firmware? I didn't perform any action to start an update procedure and the firmware was installed without any single m...
Up & Running with 2.3.5.30 .
Almost 2 days with no (bad) news . Everything seems to run fine with no noticed issues (until now).
Satellite Devices are connected as expected .
Cameras running ok
IR/RF remote controls , devices and RF lights are operating as expected . (RF is posted because the remote controls are connecting to Orbi wia WiFi and send RF signals to different devices)
Keep you posted in case of problems .
Thanks to everybody for helping and supporting
I'm going to disconnect (turn off) and connect (turn on) all the devices that supposed to be connected to the satellite to see what happens . Turn off/on the main router and the satellite didn't solve the problem until now . This is the third day with the issue , so I think is enough time to allow the roaming of the devices by themselves . Besides is not only the cameras (there are some alarms , sensors and smartplugs that suppose to be connected to the satellite.
During today I'm going to perform this action and let you know .

Whenever firmware updates are done, its recommended to update the satellites first and then the main orbi. If it happens in reverse, it can cause issues. If you're having issues after a firmware update and all devices are up to date on their firmware, sometimes a factory reset can help resolve them.
I believe with one of the more recent firmware updates it disables the auto update of firmware funtion. After that it gives you a notice at the top stating there is an update. I'm not sure (without researching) which version it was that the option rolled out in.
Another thing to keep in mind with devices not connecting to the satellite is distance. orbi devices need to be a minimum of 30ft apart.
