Firmware V2.1.1.16 auto update
we'll be removing the v2.1.1.16 firmware from the auto update server over the holidays and will resume pushing it in the new year. Firmware will still be available on product support pages for manual...

My system auto-updated to 2.1.1.16 in the wee hours of 12/27, when I was on vacation. The satellites immediately disconnected, taking down my security cameras and other household infrastructure.
WiFi is now unstable. The router truncates my password after the first character ("$") and shuts down WiFi entirely when rebooted.
Bringing satellites into same room for troubleshooting and I can reconnect one but not the other. The one connected satellite disconnects every few hours.
I manually rolled back to 2.0.0.74. This corrected the password flaw on the router, but now neither satellite will connect.
The system was working flawlessly since August until this auto firmware update.

Yep, it works the same exact way. I rolled back from 2.1.1.16 to 2.0.0.17 to 1.12.0.18 to 1.11.0.20 over a week ago to get stability back into my setup.
