Netgear made available today a new beta firmware for the EX8000 for me. Now the connection with the Orbit-Router with firmware 2.3.5.30 works again! I also asked Netgear for a beta for the EX7700.
You might contact NG support and inform them of what you found and experienced.

The following problem: I am using Orbi RBR 50 with a satellite with firmware 2.3.1.60, in access point mode. In the basement of my house I use my previous Netgear EX8000 as a repeater (as it has 4 network interfaces) to connect to the Orbi. The EX8000's own WLAN function is deactivated, so it acts as an "access point" for my cabled devices in the basement.This worked in the past without problems.
After the update to firmware 2.3.5.30 the EX8000 can no longer connect to the Orbi. Neither with 2,4 nor with 5 ghz radio. Firmware the EX8000 is 1.0.1.202. Even a hardware reset of the EX8000 with reconfiguration did not help.
After downgrading the Orbis to 2.3.1.60 the EX8000 worked fine again.
Do you have any idea what I could do?
I am thankful about every suggestion for a solution
