Hello All,
Since upgrading from v2.2.1.210 (via v2.2.1.212), my satellites ( one RBS50 and two RBW30) frequently perform a "config sync". I've performed a factory reset on all devices and it continues to "config sync". Any other ideas?
Is Daisy chain enabled? Try disabling it.

Thanks to all responders...I reverted back to .210 on the router and both satelittes this morning... So far, so good - All issues --> gone...
- traffic meter working again,
- IOS app (2.3.0.31) correcly displaying (STAR) topology,
- Web GUI - no more satellite "config sync" bounces, satelittes show "good" all the time
- no internet drops.
- devices already connecting to closest Orbi
I guess I'll wait till the next firmware release before thinking about upgrading...
Cheers!
Did you factory reset and setup from scratch after updating to v32?
Was Daisy chain enabled? Disable it if it was.
Others are not reporting these issues after a reset. Next time please give feedback to questions presented to you. Helpful to know more of what you did.

Did you try just downgrading the router (RBR50)? If so, did that correct the issue? I'm assuming you performed a factory reset afterward.
I did not just do the Router. I reverted back to .210 on everything. I like keeping versions the same (if possible) on all devices. A lesson learned from 25 years + experience as a network engineer/architect.
For those who continually push for "Factory Reset". Please quantify your reasoning! I've be using Orbi for years without issue and with separate SSIDs and really do not want to spend the time to start from scratch unless it is absolutely necessary... The step I took morning restored my network infrastructure.
I had disabled it and was still getting the config sync issue. I see where one user reverted back to .210 to correct the issue. Maybe I'll give that a try.
Please try a factory reset on the base and satellite(s) first before reverting back. Would like to see if this might clear this up.
Please set a IP address reservation for the satllite(s) ON the base after you get the satellite(s) connected.
If not, then we can have NG support review this.

I performed the factory reset this morning, prior to posting message, and I'm still receiving the message. Should I reset the satellites first then the router?
