This update has totally messed up my Orbi setup. Since updating a couple days ago the WAN link won't stay connected at more than 10mbps. If I do a factory reset it will reconnect at 100mbps and stay that way for a few hours, but then the router will reboot and only negotiate at 10mbps. All the other interfaces are fine. The only thing I have found that will get it to negotiate at 100mbps is a factory reset.

 

Today the router keeps going down hard and has to be unplugged before it will come back up.

I downgraded to the previous version (hoping that it won't automatically update) and it has corrected my problems. I'll be waiting for the next firmware release before I try updating again.
