Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
New firmware is available via the GUI ....
Let's hope for success.
This is the second firmware update that has messed with my MacBook internet.
It connects to the router fine, but internet cannot get through.
Now I have to downgrade the firmware again.
How to I make sure this thing doesn’t auto update??

Have you tried manually upating the system and then reset and set up from scratch?

I didnt try anything yet.
I turned my computer on and found out I cant get on the NET.
After jacking with it for a bit, I remembered that I had this same thing happen on the last update.
I vaguely remember someone giving me the same idea last time... I think I downloaded firmware, plugged into the satelite, updated, etc. only to find the same problem.
It seems strange that something is messing with the internet connection on just my macbook - while the comptuer is connect to the WIFI fine.
PITA
Have you done a full factory reset on the router and satellite and set up from scratch after the update?
Can try this:
Advanced Wireless Settings both 2.4GHz and 5GHz changed CTS/RTS Threshold to 2307.

Changed the CTR/RTS threshold values for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (2341 and 2345 respectively), changed preamble modes to long preamble, and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only.
