Well, I was going to say he seems to release new versions near the end of the month. That seems to be fairly consistent ... until today :)
Bulk of the updates I find are patches to the latest greatest versions of the various utilities installed on the Orbi. Of course, he does add some new functionality in there too.
I think the reason he came out with an unscheduled update was for the CVE that seems to be kind hot.
I wasn't aware the Orbi satelites could be extended via ethernet. I may take this into consideration on rewiring my home. Is this common with most "mesh" systems?
