New Orbi RBR50/RBS50 Firmware Version 2.3.1.44
Netgear is pushing out yet another a new Orbi firmware update.
Hopefully it's better than the last version v32.
Please share your experience.
Firmware Update
...
A few quick questions to those of us with backhaul status of 'config_sync' or Firmware Update with "Waiting for connection" problem.
1. Do you have separate SSIDs for 2.4GHz and 5GHz?
2. If yes, can you try to merge it back to a SINGLE SSID and see if the problem goes away?
I had two separate SSIDs, one for 2.4GHz and one for 5GHz. After I merge them back to a SINGLE SSID, the problem above goes away like magic.
I just want to see if this will also work for others. If yes, then something has changed since v210 to cause this problem and hopefully NG can look into this fix for the next firmware update.
I'm currently testing v44.
IF the config sync went away after you re-merged the separated SSIDs, then NG probably wont do anything to resolve it as using separate SSIDs is NOT supported on Orbi officially.
