Orbi Firmware 2.3.1.60
Welp, anyone have any notes on this thing? It's already downloaded to my router and satellite waiting for me to pull the pin.
Hi,
Just for information, when you're in the Firmware Update page and it downloads new firmware to install, the version number next to both the router and the satellite is a clickable link.
If you click the link, it will show you the release notes of all changes between your currently installed firmware and the update.
Although, this "feature" is not hidden, it's not always obvious that it's there either.
So I thought I would see if there was a new firmware today. I was on the Orbi app on my phone. I did a check for firmware update. And there it was .60. I was feeling darning so I clicked update. A few minutes, boom, it’s done. Everything worked. It was clean, easy, and it worked. Very nice. I have an RBR50, and two satellites connected with Ethernet backhaul in both. No issues. Everything just worked. Very nice. I’m impressed with how well things are working now with this model. Love it.
Glad it's working well. Thank you for letting us know about your experiences. Be sure to save off a new backup config to file for safe keeping.
Enjoy. :smileywink:

We are some in here that have problem with dropping wifi, mayby you also have it, without knowing about it, due to buffering and so on. Download NetSpot and analyze youre network for 10 min and see.
Is this after a factory reset and setup from scratch?
Have you testing without all your devices connected to see if same thing happens?

I had the same problem with .44, ive changed the SSID so no devices were connected, and i turned of all the satellites, but the wifi still dropped on both 2.4 and 5. I have no other devices or neighbor that disturbs. I have tested threee routers, same problem. Netgear is looking into my problem. It has been raised to the developers.
