Auto update 2.1.4 bricked my router?
My system auto updated sometime last night. . .came home to a not working wireless. Rebooting both, and attempting to connect via a wired connection, I see the router IP pings only spontaneously now. I can get to the web page sporadically, but not long enough to manually downgrade. I also noticed the ethernet backhaul no longer works. Wondering now if my systems are bricked. . it was working flawlessy until this latest update. I'm way out of the support period. . is there a procedure I should flow to try and fix this?

It's highy unlikely, that the fw update bricked your router. Have you tried to perform a factory reset? Depending on the fw release the Orbi has updated from, this might be necessary.
try unpluggin the satellite from the main router and reboot. If everything comes up, then try plugging in the satellite.
