Just wanted to say that upgrading from 2.5.2.4 to this latest version fixed all my issues. I had unusable wifi that would make my network crash as soon as I saturated my internet bandwidth or I was on too many devices at the same time, now with this update I can download and upload at full speed on as many devices as I want without any issue whatsoever. Manually updated satellite first then router, this is the best firmware I’ve ever used to date.RBR50 1st gen

This is the first version of firmware since 2.3.5.30 where all my devices show in the app and web page! I'm just thrilled about that! So far so good and the app is working perfectly!
Did you apply and continue to use the orbi system or did you power cycle the system or factory reset anything?

Applied and continued. No power cycle, no factory reset.
I could not use the iPad app to login to my Orbi. I had to delete and reload the app from my iPad. The app on my Android phone had no problems. I had 2 factor authentication enabled.I now have a 3 trusted devices. Phone, iPad, and a phantom iPad. iPad's private IP is disabled.

I recommend doing this after FW updates. Full power OFF of the RBS and RBR for one minute. If problems are still experienced, then a factory reset and setup from scratch would be next.

- Just downloaded it manually as soon as it was available and did manual update on web browser via WiFi starting from the satellite first. No reboot and no factory reset before or after, worked like a charm without going anything particular for me

I have two questions for you: (1) Do you have Access Control enabled? (2) Have you tried the Orbi App to view (and manage) attached devices?
Based on your "worked like a charm" comment, I'll be the answer is "No" to either or both of these (related) questions. I think this update broke this functionality (which matters to many of us).
Cheers!
