Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
New firmware is available via the GUI ....
Let's hope for success.
So I just found this. Woke up on the 7th, my router was bricked. Had to go buy a new one, as my job requires I have a connection from home. Been waiting since Sunday for the privlage to pay to ship the brick back to NG, so they will ship me a new one, so then I will have a spare i guess for the next time NG bricks my router in the middle of the night.
Thanks NG, didn't want to spend the $ to buy a new router right now.
LadySapphy - Please send me a message with your case and/or RMA number and I will have support follow up with you.

I posted this in a separate thread - posting it here too...
I upgraded by Orbi to 2.2.1.210 - everything seemed fine. I have a guest network (with a password) that I leave disabled and only enable when we have a guest. It is also set to not allow access to my LAN.
A few days after upgrading I noticed that my guest network was active with NO PASSWORD and it could access my LAN (the guest network has a password set). I logged into the Orbi console and it was still set to disabled, but it was broadcasting and I could connect to it with no password. The only way to turn it back off was to turn the guest network on and off again.
This is a serious security flaw! I now have major concerns about the security of this device which I've had no problems with for over a year.
Tried to roll back to previous firmware; but the Orbi just automatically updates to the latest.
Anyone else seen this guest network issue?
Try a factory reset and setup from scratch:

Hey I just wanted to say still that the IPV6 dropping after a few days still happens in this firmware. I have to still go in and reapply it, however now it takes a few more times before IPV6 comes back. This really needs to be fixed, IPV6 shouldn't stop after a few days.
Hello RedBatman89, deesto, tarxvf,
Good afternoon!

Any chance of getting SSH into the next build? I still can't beleive that in this day and age *TELNET* is an option via the debug.htm page.... I know that there is a busybox with SSH support for arm7 - lots of other embedded devices have this.
