QUESTION FOR NETGEAR - ATTN AmitR
Is the recommended procedure to update the satellites, then the router to V2.1.3.4...
and then hard reset (paperclip) the satellites and router after they come back up after the update...
and manually configure them from scratch to eliminate any old settings (that may carry forward) that are not applicable to this version of firmware?
I don;t think you have to hard reset the satellites. I have had it done for about 12 hours now and only thing I did was factory reset the router adn updated the satellites.
- I did hard reset them at first because I thought they had lost their association with the router, but it seemed that they did actually connect to the router but I couldn't see it in the orbi app. Logging into the Web page of the router shown that they were in fact connect perfectly fine. I think the orbi app needs some tweaking because it says satellites n/a when they are connected fine.
- Case in point, app says n/a and router says ok
