Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
New firmware is available via the GUI ....
Let's hope for success.
My Orbi router (with 2 satellites) had been rock solid up until firmware 2.2.1.210. Now the satellite in the basement refuses to connect to the satellite in the living room (one level up). Instead, it insists on connecting 3 levels up to the loft, which is where the router is. Enabling daisy-chain topology isn't providing consistent results. Normally I have it enabled, but I'm getting various from my backhaul regardless of what it's set to.
Try a Manual FW load:

- So I performed the command line updates to the router and the satellite and confirmed the auto update and other setting were set to not check or update.
Well a couple days later, my router and satellite are updated to the latest bad firmware again. So now my satellite keeps disconnecting and my reliability sucks again.Have you tried a manual FW update using v210 to the satellite and then router, then do a factory reset and then setup from scratch?

Since the update my satalitte has been disconnecting multiple times an hour, no settings have changed but did notice that someone metioned the daisy chain option might be bugged and swapped so turned it on but no difference. Full reset and re-config... still happening.
What good is a really expensive piece of networking kit if they allow such buggy firmware to be released (and/or not officially allow us to stop updates!). At least make a statement, give us an idea of if there is a fix in the works or roll back the damn firmware!
