For me the upgrade process went smoothly but I did have some unexpected after effects to deal with, I have one of the Costco systems so I have 2 satellites one at the other end of the house from the router and one out in a detached garage, they swapped positions after the update but I see no reason for concern as it applies to function its only visual. My other issue was that all of my devices attached to the router after the update instead of the satellites, although over time most of them switched to their proper satellite the 2 TrendNet TEW-680MB media converters and my 2 ChromeCasts would not release from the router and attach to the satellite until I cycled their power. I still have the issue where when my wife’s Galaxy Tab 4 connects to a Satellite it shows /OrbiDevName2/ where the MAC address should be as well as it shows a connection type of Wired even through its wireless and it also adds a < after the device name, the device works fine, and if connected to the router it shows as it should. Hopefully they can fix that at some point but since it works I am not too concerned. I do hope they enable the USB soon as I miss my readyshare drive that was connected to the WNDR4500v3 that the Orbi replaced.

IOS / MAC OS drops still occuring.
Possibly less frequently but need more time.
