>> 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.
