RBR50: v2.5....
Hi
Since updating my Orbi system to V2.5.0.38 I am experiencing:
- WiFi outages (randomly the WiFi is gone)
- On the configuration page in a browser it says that the two satellites are not connected but the App says they are?
- The device attached list if randomly empty or contains only a few of the attached devices
I assume this is due to a buggy upgrade - question is when will new version come and when it down how will I update when the satellites are showing as not connected?
Christian_R can you tell me when a new version will be out?
Regards
John

I've been seeing the same over the last few days, ever since doing the update. Maddening. Wifi is constantly dropping on all devices, even when sitting right next to the satellite.

I can't tell if you're trolling, trying to be self-righteous, or just clueless. I think you and I are on the same team here, dude.
To say what I shouldn't have to say: I expect a firmware upgrade will fix CVEs (enhancing security), patch minor flaws (fixing stability bugs), and occasionally add big new features that I probably don't care about. A company as big as Netgear should QA their damn firmware. A new firmware shouldn't cripple user experience.

I agree with what you say. In my opinion your only mistake was to manually upgrade when I believe your system was working fine...??
Factory reset the RBR and RBS and setp from scratch. This should fix your problems.

I'm fine with the inconvenience of a factory reset IF I can restore settings from backup, but "setup from scratch"??? WTF. That's insane. Some people actually configure more than just SSID and passphrase on their wifi routers.
I'm downgrading to 2.3.5.30.
