FW 2.0.0.74 on download server
It looks like 2.0.0.74 is now on the download server, I'm not sure how this differs to the 2.0.0.72 that was posted by AmitR . Release notes look the same as was mentioned for 2.0.0.72 : https://...

Thanks for pointing out that the new 2.0.0.74 firmware is listed in the Orbi's support page: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/rbk50.aspx#download
My units are still at 2.0.0.72. I pressed the Check button on the Firmware Update admin page but they still report no new firmware version available.

I've downloaded it and will manually install later... I am also on 2.0.072 and it has been very good so far.

Thanks for catching this - I'll do the same.
.072 was working well for me too, but I'm curious -- do you have the "Implicit Beamforming" and "MU-MIMO" options checked? I'm experiementing both ways lately, and haven't noticed any consistent difference one way or another, but figured I'd ask you since yours has been stable too...
Thanks!

Yes I have beamforming and mu-mimo enabled. I also tried several variationsand did not see huge difference with them on/off. I just left them on and all seems OK.
FYI - I run in full router mode.
