Seems I cannot waste any more time and nerves with this solution. Sending ORBI back. I was not able to establish not stable wireless backhaul, nor ethernet backhaul, and router was often not able to get IP addresses from the main home router. This solution really is full with bugs. :(( I was so much hoping to use its advertised features, but this is just taking 2 hours every day to try to troubleshoot, reconfigure, restart and try and try and not succeeding. Enough. I'm sorry, but Netgear really screwed this up. And this is not ORBIOS 2.1 problem, this is a deeper whole system problem, since even before upgrading to 2.1 I had same issues :(( Very very sad. Do not recommend this solution to anybody.
I know this shouldn't be the fix, but for those that tried tp upgrade to FW ver 2.1 and are having these connectivity issues, have you tried to roll back to v1.12.0.18, and if so, does it fix the stability? I'm on v1.12.0.18 right now, and things have been running great. I wouldn't mind helping out with the testing of 2.1, but only if I know that rolling back to ver 1 will at least restore connectivity, if things get to bad.
Otherwise, I'll just patiently wait here on 1.12.
Also, I see there is a version 2.0.0.74 out there. Are there stability issues with that too?
