Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
New firmware is available via the GUI ....
Let's hope for success.
Hope someone can help me out.
I've been having wifi issue keeps dropping out on my iPad Pro 9.7" version with this router since the very beginning. I've updated my firmware everytime(currently on this fw version) there's a new one but the issue still exists. It only happens on that iPad and not on all other iPads/iPhones/PCs. It's very annoying that it drops wifi every 5-10 minutes. I reinstalled iOS and did all reset on iPad. I've read few others having the same issue but I can't find a solution. Is this a NG issue or Apple?
Try this:
Advanced Wireless Settings both 2.4GHz and 5GHz changed CTS/RTS Threshold to 2307.

Change 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.

- This POS firmware has bricked my orbi setup! Was all working fine on .10 firmware until this auto-update a few days back.
Have been having disconnection issues ever since. Tried factory resetting today and now I can’t access the RBR50 with “password” as my access password.
No wifi in my house. Thanks for nothing Netgear you absolute d1ckhölesWire connect a PC to the router and factory reset the router using the back push pin button. Hold it in until the top led turns on AMBER then let go. Wait for the WHITE led to slowly pulsate, then log in to orbilogin.com using a web browser and walk thru the setup wizard. This time write down all important information for safe keeping later on.
If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually. Hoping NG support can have a look at this. So try this out as well.

You always say hold down the reset pin until the top led light turns amber, but in my experience I just have to wait until the power light on the back turns amber for the factory reset. I’ve never seen the top led turn any color while holding down the reset pin. If I hold it down longer than 30 seconds would the top led turn amber? I usually hold down the reset pin for 30 seconds and in that time only the power light on the back blinks amber.
