Hmmm...Checked for new firmware, found it and flashed it. As a result, Orbi router and satellite have just been updated to v2.0.0.72...assume that this is the next official release after v1.12.
Doing fine so far, but hasn't been very long yet. Expecting it to be fine, since v2.0.0.64 was doing fine as well.
Time will tell *smile*. Just found this:

Nice try guys but a fail. I upgraded to version 2 and within 2 hours everything was locked up. No internet access or WiFi access. Same as the previous versions. Until you perfect the firmware, the system is garbage. I have an expensive 6 month old paper weight. Not a complex network. One satellite and 22 devices connected to a Spectrum cable network thru a SB3400 modem.
It is obvious you have no clue as to what is wrong with these units. They should be recalled.
I am going to post to Amazon and other boards the truth about Orbi.
Its perplexing how some people have 0 problems and others have total trainwrecks. There has to be something causing this. My system is flawless, and I feel for you guys with issues.

I can understand your frustration but have you tried a few basic things?
- Done a hard reset of both base and satellite - Use a paper clip and press the buttons on the back?
- Tried your network with a few basic devices (PC/TV)? - have you considered you might have a device that is causing overly chatty and crashing yoru network?
- Reset your cable model before you restarted the Oribi system? - Maybe your cable company has a new flash of their own that isnt playing nice with the Orbi
With this new FW there are very few people complaining which leads me to think its something ON your network or you have a bad Orbi and should do an RMA.

I'm sorry to hear it's not working for you but the Orbi has 2,387 reviews with an average of 4 and a half stars out of 5 so your 1 negative review isn't going to do much if anything.
Also, "the truth about Orbi"? The truth is that the majority of people experience no issues but there are always outliers. Company forums are overwhelmingly occupied by the outliers that have had a bad experience with a hadful of us that have had little to no issues.
