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 satellite might not connect to the Orbi router after the firmware update. A workaround solution is to reboot the Orbi router and then wait for 2 –5 minutes.

Hi,
Is there any news about a firmware that works without rebooting every days !!?
My router (auto updated with V2.1.4.10) reboot every 10-15h, without reason... i've never got uptime more than 1 day (2-3 days with old firmware, but reboot after).
Im in AP mode.
Strange thing, i've connected the satellite directly to internet (via wire to my modem) and it seems to be self-sufficient, alone, unattached.
It's logical and maybe not recommended but it work great since 27 days ! (kept with V2.1.1.12 )
Is the satellite can works alone or it is connected to the router and i don't see this link ?
Why the router can't work so long !? maybe because it's not the same device that are connected ?
I think i will invert the position of router/satellite to see if the satellite reboot like the router...
Seriously, i don't understand why you can't do a firmware that works with every device ! my old router did it !
Whats the Mfr and model# of this ISP modem? Built in router here by chance?
Any wifi nieghbors near by? If so, how many?

i don't know the manufacturer, it's from my provider (In France) named SFR, and yes there is a router inside (and never reboots :-) ).
I've tried something, if the router is turned off , the Satellite still works , at least for local network, don't remember if internet was ok in this case.
Why wifi of neighbors could reboot the router !? (i have none )
The WAN port is the Internet port to the ISP modem.
Your modem must only handle 100mb and not 1000mb connection rates.
100 mb that's because i'm using a powerline to connect the orbi to the modem.
it's enough for what i want to do with ( a the place where is the router, there is not many device)
So the problem with the router could be hardware or because of the firmware ?
i think this is the firmware because with the V2.1.1.12 it works better, not great but better.
Strange that the satellite works like a charm (but with V2.1.1.12, i don't change it, it works too great )
ok, just done a last test.
My router was in ROUTER mode (no more AP)...to test if it's more stable...
i've just navigate to the web interface and bam, the router reboots !! i did nothgin else navigate in the admin interface :-(
is there a way to change the router ? with Netgear Waranty ? i'm living in France..
I am using the RBR50 Orbi with 2 satellites and just downloaded and installed the most recent firmware release V2.1.4.16 and am having internet connection problems. Internet connection is randomly connecting/disconnecting. Is anyone else having this problem? Any solution?
Whats the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the Orbi is connected too?
Try a full power OFF of the ISP modem and Orbi system. Power ON the modem first and let it sync. Then power ON the router and let it come to ready. Test internet connection first. Then power ON the satellite(s).
Last resort, try a full factory erase on the router and set it up from scratch.
I would post here since you have upgraded FW:

- Will give that a try. Using Xfinity XB3 modem.
