Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
New firmware is available via the GUI ....
Let's hope for success.
I would download the FW files and do a manual install and then factory reset and setup from scratch. Others have said this has worked well for them:

So, having read some of the complaints about others' experiences with 2.2.1.210, I opted not to manualy update it. As of yesterday, it had not updated, but when I checked today, it had. I'm having the same issue several others have complained of: connection types (5G, 2.4G, wired) displaying as "unknown" on both the "access control" and "atached devices" pages. All "unknown" devices are connected via the RBS50 satellite, though they do vary by connection type (some 5G, some 2.4G, and some wired). They all display normally if I log directly into the satellite web configuration page and look at the attached devices page there.
On "attached devices," (back on the RBR50 router) there's also an issue with the page constantly refreshing all the device icons, (like the RBS50 icon, as well as any I assigned manually to various connected devices), and network icons (5G, 2.4G, and wired icons indicating how a given device is connected) on roughly a 5-scond cycle.
I assume both the router and satellite rebooted overnight during the upgrade process, but I manually hard rebooted them, and the problems persist. They don't seem to be important problems, as all connected devices still seem to function properly, but it is annoying, and is something that should be fixed moving forward with future firmware versions.
I did do a factory reset on it, and the problem persists. I did not manually re-flash the firmware, though. But I did factory reset, downgrade, and then it automatically upgraded again, and then I factory reset it again, and then did all the configuration. The issue with the icons all flashing every ~5 seconds persists, and I don't recall it being an issue with previous versions of the firmware, I don't think flashing the firmware again will resolve that. The issue with devices connected to the satellite showing as unknown connection types did eventually resolve itself, but I think it took something like a day for that to fully populate properly, which, again, not a big issue, and not something that makes it unusable by any means, but it's highly annoying. It's not worth me going through the hassle to re-flash and factory reset again just to see if it fixes it, but it is something Netgear should be aware of and fix on future firmware updates.
This guy hasn't reported problems after manually loading FW:
Something to try.
Also let us know if you see the same behavior when using different browsers.
Besure to clear all browser caches as well before entering into the router or satellites UI.

Hi I just wanted to say that from time to time one of my sattelites back haul will be listed as config sync, only way to fix it is by power cycling the sattliete and even then I had wasted about 30 mins of time till I finally decided to reboot my entire system due to the sattilte trying to reconnect to each other. This shouldn't be happening. I hope in the next firmware update this will be fixed. My setup looks a lot like this linksys velop picture on the far left. I wish daisy chain to be fixed.
So is your satellites daisy chained and do you have Daisy Chain uncheck on the Orbi router? Remember v210 Daisy chain is working in reverse order when looking at the UI...
