Orbi Firmware Update 2.5.0.40
Does anyone know what's in 2.5.0.40? All I can see from the software release is "Updates the https certificate" - it's described as a Hot Fix, but I would love to see a tad more detail. I had...
With the 2.5.0.38 my satelites were obviously connected as the attached devices had internet connection, but in the router web UI they were not appearing, at all. It just said, number of satelites: 0.
So I first manually updated RBR50 to .40 after which the satelites were listed, but with 0 devices shown on them. This at least allowed me to update both satelites manually to .40 just to keep things on the same version.
But I still don't see any devices shown as attached even though they are, since I have internet connection on them. It's a mix of AV receivers, Macbook Pros, iPhones, iPads, Apple TV etc.
Even more ludicrious is the attached screenshot, showing the satelites as disconnected while I'm typing this connected to one of them.
Guys, I wrote this earlier. I have spoken with Netgear support and they told me that they see .30 as the last stable firmware version. I downgraded and indeed, issues are gone. I also asked them when a safe, stable release will be announced but he could not reply to this. The .30 version does not have the naming issues etc.
That's an amazing statement. .38 appeared as regular stable update, with notification. How can something like that be pushed and be considered non-stable is beyond my understanding.

The real question is how many folks downloaded it on their own when their network was working fine.
