RBR50 / RBS50 Firmware Version 2.6.1.40

The "New Features and Enhancements" section is confusing:
Supports HTTPS on the LAN
What should that mean ? If I'm using https internally, then I use it and it is already working (browser and REST calls).
Anyway, I reverted from 2.5.2.4 to 2.5.1.16 because this is the most actual FW which is working on my environment (1 RBR & 1 RBS wired and 2 RBS via backhaul).
Would be interesting, if someone already upgraded to 2.6.1.40 and what the experience is ?
- are the connected Devices displayed correctly (mobile appp & browser)
- stability

Experiencing issues when loading up ebay.co.uk after the update. Any device connected to the network cannot seem to load up the css for ebay.co.uk
I've been running this for about a week or so with no problems; it seems really solid and the app works as expected. I've checked eBay.co.uk just now and it's loads perfectly.
I have an RBR50 and 2 RBS50 connected wirelessly and an RBS40 connected on Ethernet.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Just a few questions to your setup:
- are you using the Orbi system in Router or AP mode (i use Router Mode)?
- Are you using "Access Control" ?
- Are you using "Port Forwarding" ?
- Are you using "Dynamic DNS" ?
- Have you configured "VPN Service" ?
- Are you using "LAN Address reservation (bind MAC to a fix IP address) ?
- Have you done a factory reset after the upgrade ?
I'm really scared about upgrading, because I made really bad experiences with FW after 2.5.1.16 and a factory reset of the system leads in a lot of work to reapply the configuration (or I load the config backup).
From my point of view, the usual suggestions to do a factory reset after an upgrade is a pain and should not be necessary.
Would be great if you can give me more details about your working setup. Then I could estimate if an upgrade is worth it.
My setup:
RBR50 and 2 RBS50 connected wirelessly and an RBS50 connected on ethernet
I'm using the Orbi in AP mode but I've never done a factory reset in all the years I've had my Orbi, and I have tried both modes. I use AP mode for convenience only.
