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!
Upgraded to 2.1.1.16 and all is working very well now. 2.1.1.12 was stable for me as I got no device dropouts at all for days on end. But everything seemed to be conncected to the main router. 2.1.1.16 has fixed this up and devices now show up fine.
Feeling quietly confident in this release now and how good would it have been to have started on this a couple of months back. THanks to the netgear engineers who no doubt were under the pump on this.
