Announcing availability of OrbiOS 2.1
I posted this on a different thread, but copy & pasting it here for more visibility. Let me give you a quick update on where NETGEAR is with the OrbiOS. Just before Christmas break, we paus...
I think none of us are sure why, either. Mine, at 2.1.2.18, in AP mode. Pinging a host on my wired network (my gateway):

Unlike 2.1.1, at least it isn't dropping any. But the serious wobble isn't right (how bad it wobbles varies a lot). Testing same with previous ASUS RT-AC88U doesn't show this behavior.
Are you sure you don't have any loops on your network with wired/wireless devices? I have heard that Sonos can do that if you plug in all of them - apparently you are only supposed to plug in one Sonos device and let the rest connect wireless using its own network. Something is on your network that is causing delays. Any android devices?
I should mention this ping time was generated while my kid is watching a 4K streaming source and with 25 connected devices.
I have the RBK53 with the two satellites - upgraded to 2.1.2.18 for the past week and it's been stable.
I'm happy for you.
My network is otherwise happy, no loops, no issues. And was, as mentioned, with previous APs.
