1.11.0.20 Firmware Problems w/ Satellites
Both of my satellites along with the master router received the 1.11.0.20 update yesterday. Upon restart of all 3, the satellites and all clients attached to them no longer show connected in the ...
I can confirm that the 1.12.0.16 beta corrects the sats not showing up in the Attached Devices and Firmware Upgrade pages of the router. Now if it is as good as everything has been for the past 6 months, except for the issue in 1.11.0.20 with the sats, I'll be in great shape!
Hi Darren,
One satelite shows different devices connected than the Router does. The other satelite just spins the "Please Wait A Moment" indetermininte loader for ever.
Thank you.
Just as an update, I manually loaded the firmware on the satelite that wasn't hung showing Attached Devices.
After re-flashing, it now behaves like the other satelite and shows devices not connected to that satelite or the router.
Both satelites are still not shown on the Router in Connected Devices or in the firmware upgrade page. Thank you.
I've been operating with the 1.11.0.2-dbg1 beta firmware, not certain if this does or doesnt align with the version you are working with. I will say that this release was the absolute most frustrating to update to and get a co-hesive router and 2 satelites online. I had to fuss with the backhaul syncs reboot a few times etc...etc... I almost reach the point of downgrading. Sticking with it I will say that the last 10 days have been excellent on the wi-fi front. No disconnects, solid backhaul, etc etc.... with all of the davanced features on. I think Netgear is closing in on a solid release for the community. getting over that hump was a pain, but I'm glad I persisted.

I echo that. I was about to the point of returning mine after 8 weeks of frustration and work. I went on vacation and upon return, noticed the Firmware update. Keeping my fingers crossed because this is the best it has ever worked. Zero speed or stability issues. It didn't work this well right out of the box. I am giving it the rest of this week to see if it goes back to the same old problems. If not, I am taking my chances and canceling the return. When it works as advertized it is really nice. I am getting virtually no speed loss. I have only one satellite so perhaps that is why I am not having some of the issues described in this thread.
Still can't find the satellites from the router, but they're definitely connected.... what a mess.

I've tried everything I know how to get my Orbi router to reflect my Orbi sats. While both sats are obviously connected (reflect SSID of router, and show devices connected to them) they do not reflect the GUEST network as the router does (they show no Guest SSID) and are not reflected in the router Attached Devices or Firmware update page.
