I like orbi,but if im using older firmware now,does it auto uppdate by its self now?
I heard netgear have turn of auto in the system on latest firmware.

if we can use older firmware when other is buggy,then its gonna work :)

Did you factory reset the Orbi system and setup from scratch after loading v32? Try this next time when you upgrade. This clears out possible problems after upgrading FW. Others are reporting good operation after ugprading to v32 and doing a factory reset and setup from scratch.

You might try a manual load of v28 again at some point. Good Luck.

You shouldn't have to do a factory reset and setup from scratch every time. That's a huge pain in the arse!!

We know however it helps resolve some issue seen after doing a autoupdate and problems arise.
Users are reminded to also do a back up of the configuration to file so when a factory reset is needed, they can save time by loading the config from file. It's best to save off a new config to file after updating FW and after a reset and setup from scratch is performmed. Keep the configuration files with in each FW version. Some backups may not work well from older FW versions.

I've never had to do a factory reset after FW updates.
Last night, the .44 auto-updated and my system is performing BETTER than ever. According to the history on Orbi app, performance has increased a bit.
I've never had issues with router or satellites.
