Orbi MR 2.1 Update 3/23/18
Our teams are still working through the issues, but I wanted to provide a quick update on OrbiOS 2.1. We usually wait to release our software until it's available across all Orbi product lines, but ...
Updated from the 2.1.2.18 beta easily enough, no issues there. However, ethernet backhaul doesn't work. First attempt took the system down initially when I plugged in the cable. Eventually it recovered, but device list was showing satellite connected via 2.4g. Rebooted everything, disconnected satellite ethernet, everything came back ok. Reconnected ethernet to satellite, and took system down again. This time, it didn't recover on it's own and I had to disconnect satellite ethernet. Once disconnected, system immediately came back up.
Came from stable 2.1.2.18 with one sat using ethernet backhaul, the second sat using wifi backhaul. After upgrading to latest beta I had to unplug ethernet backhaul for the system to stabalize. Not sure if the new FW is an improvement over 2.1.2.18 for me. Time will show.
