I applied 2.1.1.16 and it appears to have fixed the issues I was having (its been about 8 hours so far).
- netgearguyDec 19, 2017ApprenticeDoes it fix the intermittent network drops/loss of connectivity?

Doesn't appear to fix the display of attached devices as advertised... it showed up for 3 hours after the update, now is consistently empty on my satellite. Am certain there are devices connected to the satellite.

Those that have speed back, did you have the speed issue where it would go away after a while? Did you guys do a hard factory reset with your update?

Which issues were you having exactly, and what FW version did you upgrade from?

Loss of connectivity about once every hour or two. Would typically last 5 to 10 minutes. I have two satellites. One disappeared (no longer seen as a connected satellite). The other seemed ok, but suffered the same drop out issue (probably coming from the router).
I was fine and stable on 2.0.0.74 on all 3 devices (RBR50 and 2 RBS50). I manually applied the 2.1.1.12 update to the router and it all went to hell. The satellites would never take .12 manually. After a few days, I rolled the router back to 2.0.0.74, but the issues remained.
I am now on 2.1.1.16 on all 3 devices, and everything is working as expected (I had to manually re-add the one satellite).

Upgraded router to v2.1.1.16 as soon as I arrived home. Already observed more stability in the network with respect to handling both satellites. Will apprise. Thanks, Netgear!
