RBK50 Firmware Version 2.5.2.4?
Hi all, I woke up this morning with a notification from the Orbi app that the firmware on my RBK50 had been automatically updated to 2.5.2.4 (screenshot attached). There doesn't seem to be any ment...
I have restarted a couple of devices but they are not shown in connected list.
Also none of the wires devices are showing either.
A lot of wifi devices are dropping connection.
The firmware updates of Orbi RBR50 is really bad.
It shouldn't be this many issues every time a new FW is released.
Be sure to power OFF the ISP modem, RBR and RBS for 1 minute then back ON after a FW update. If problems still crop up, a factory reset and setup from scratch maybe needed.

How the hell can a restart of my fiber switch have anything to do with my Orbi not showing my connected devices?
If I reboot/shutdown the Orbi units all connections are dropped and the Orbi router has no idea if any other node has been restarted.
But just for taking your advise I will do as you what you say.
Let us know how it goes.
Have now shut down evrything. Fiber switch, router, satellite, all switches.
Still having issues with not showing connected devices. But the worst is that devices drop wifi connection.
Really thinking of getting another mesh system. I have never seen a system with this much issues for every FW upgrade.
