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?

You are not alone with this problem. I ran into the exact same issue post upgrade from v210 to v32. Don't waste time with Factory Reset or any configurations fiddling, it won't resolve the 'config_sync' vicious cycles problem. The Satellites will have connection problem when this happens. You can verify this by going to RBR50 Firmware Update page. The Satellites would say "Waiting for connection" instead of "No new firmware version available". The latest Orbi app will also go crazy trying to determine the network map topology. The network map will change constantly on every other refresh.
The solution that works for me was to revert back to v210. I'm sticking with v210 until the next firmware release.
- I reverted back to .210 yesterday and everything is back to normal except traffic meter. I’m with you on waiting to the next firmware upgrade.
I downgraded the RBR50 to .210, which appears to have stabilized for the moment.
I went back to 210 also. Router and Satellites. I was seeing random speed drops and just didn't have the desire to troubleshoot more Netgear bugs.
Ragar99 I don’t have faith in stability. My wife has a home office and can’t afford the down time. Since I have wired all key components directly for speed, I’ve gone back to google Wifi, wireless is slower but incredibly stable. I thrown all the orbis in a box if net gear ever gets their s..t together I may try it again. But it will take some convincing. This was a damned expensive lesson
