I HIGHLY recommend after the FW is loaded on the system and it's back to ready, power OFF all Orbi units and the ISP modem/ONT for 1 minute. Then back ON with the ISP modem/ONT first, then RBR then RBS.
NOTE: Orbi app or the routers web page may not report seeing new FW updates. NG may not push this to there auto update services immediately and may activate the newer FW update being seen on there auto update services at a later time. User will have the choice to manually update if you want too.
FW UPDATE ALL Feature:
If there is a FW updated seen on the RBRs web page and all RBS are online and connected with GOOD STATUS, you can select the UPDATE ALL button option to have the RBR update the RBS and RBR. Update All button is seen on the RBRs Firmware Update WEB page on the Check for Updates FW section of the page. Once FW has been checked for an update and all devices show the FW update is available, select the UPDATE ALL button. Give 5 minutes for the process to take place.

Re: New - RBE970 / RBE971 Firmware Version 9.10.2.3 Released
I’ve been running this FW since I bought the 970 and no drops in wireless at all. I’m waiting for the next release so I can used a wired backhaul through a managed switch. Only want to do it with 1 of 3 satellites that’s upstairs to offload that one from the wireless back haul as it’s already in close proximity to the switch. The rest would require running new Ethernet cables with one or them being all but impossible to get to, not going to bust up drywall over it.
