Known Issues. Orbi Firmware V 2.1.4.10 update
Known Issue:
This one is published in the release notes for the 2.1.4.10 update
When user has two or more Orbi satellites connected to Orbi router using Ethernet backhaul connection, an Orbi sa...
I had the same issues other have experienced: With 2.1.4.10, ethernet backhaul no longer works, and if I leave the ethernet cable connected to the satellite, the entire network becomes unusuable. Spent hours trying to fix: factory resets, many reboots, as suggested by Netgear support, downgraded to 2.1.3.4 but it auto updated right back to 2.1.4.10 within one hour. And I don't want to rely on an unsupported backdoor-- telneting to disable the autoupdate flag as others have suggested elsewhere, not a way I want a product at this price point to behave. Firmware updates need to be user controlled: option to turn on autoupdates, option to turn off auto updates, option to install, skip or postpone an update. All other good computing related products provide those options. I don't want to be forced to be a beta tester of new firmware. Makes no sense. I am still within the window to return the system so am hoping for a fix soon.
Try this process?
