New Features and Enhancements:
- Supports ReadySHARE Printer for Orbi devices that are equipped with a USB port
- Updated the OrbiOS API to v3.14
Bug Fixes:
- Fixes the iOS disconnection issue.
- Fixes the Dropcam disconnection issue.
- Fixes the convergence issue when an Ethernet connected device moves from one Orbi to another.
- Fixes the issue where the Orbi app can’t find the Orbi router if the router is using IPv6 and is in AP mode.
- Fixes the issue where the Orbi app can’t display more than 20 connected devices.
- Fixes the issue where the installation assistant might not display if the device is connected to the Orbi network wirelessly.
- Fixes the issue where the 2.4 GHz backhaul setting is disabled if the fronthaul MU-MIMO and TxBF is disabled.
- Fixes the issue where IPv6 devices on the guest network can access the Orbi router’s web GUI.

My core issue is ethernet to internet throughput from the router, satellites don't come into play. That said, yes I've tested with no satellites and the issues still manifest after a reboot.
I am firmly of the opinion that most, if not all, folks are in fact affected by speed issues, but that most people also don't have an internet connection fast enough to expose the issues. If you're paying for anything less than 100Mbps down you are much less likely to notice problems related to speed. Those of us fortunate to have access to affordable Gigabit service are naturally going to be more susceptible to problems and noticing when they're happening.

Orbi speed is not just about Internet. I use Orbi to do local backups between machines . Server is wired, clients are wireless. It can be hundreds of GB transferred per week over Orbi.
I tried disabling beamforming, MU-MIMO, and fast roaming and the system has been up over 18 hours without locking up. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
I tried the latest update (V2.0.0.72) and I'm still having internet connection drops with some of my devices. I tried erasing the nvram, installing the updates on both the router and two sattelites, rebooting the routers and cable modem, etc. I'm just tired of messing with the Orbi Router and having connection issues, so I'm boxing it up and taking it all back to Costco for a refund. Thanks to everyone here who've spend the time to offer suggestions and provided their feedback. Good Luck!
If you have not yet tried turning off UPnP in advanced settings, maybe you could try that - it did the trick for me.
Good luck everyone with your Orbi System. I am returning my tomorrow to CostCo. I put a Ubiquinti System, business system, and it works great.

Cannot fault you for that. Stop by and let us know how the ubiquiti is?
On the other hand, my Orbi is still performing flawlessly after the 2.0 firmware. I have had a lot of routers and not one has been as stable as this Orbi.

I also returned my Orbi system to Costco for a refund (thankful for their great return policy). I was just tired of all the dropped internet connections, slow speeds, etc. I decided to go back to a single traditional router system, so I bought the Netgear Nighthawk AC3000 R7900P WiFi Router from Costco. I was a bit hesitate to buying another Netgear router, but I thought I'd take the chance since I could return it so easily for a full refund. This new router has been running for over a week now, and it seems to be working well. It's a tri-band system with a 2.4 GHz and two 5 GHz transmitters. I've noticed that my newer devices (e.g., my LG G6 Smartphone) can send and receive at the highest internet speeds (125 Mbps down, 12 Mbps up) anywhere in my house on the 5 GHz system (even at a few previous dead spots). The 2.4 GHz is downloading around half the max speed in my home because I have the 20/MHz Co-Existance feature turned on (to help with outside overlapping WiFi signals). But that's fine since I'm maintaining a consistent connection to the internet. So far, this single router is working out ok for my home (knock on wood)!
