New beta v1.11.0.8 appears to fix my long time issues
I've now completed an RMA on both my RBR and RBS with Netgear and sent my old ones back. Running the older beta FW they (the new hardware) was just as bad. But Netgear just sent me a few days ago a new beta FW and since I installed it my Orbi system appears to be running very stable.
I still need to do more testing and I'm running most of my home network through my old Netgear still so need to cut everything over to the Orbi this weekend and see if it runs for a week or more. So far signs are very positive. I haven't had any drops or disconnects and more importantly speed on the connected devices are consistently fast again - laptops, smartphones, IOT, etc.
On the main home screen, the # of satellite's connected stays as 1 (they could have just changed this in code though) and things are looking good.
I'm continuing to monitor and test but wanted to let people know who might be thinking of giving up to hold on a little longer. To be fair, when this system works as it should it is really quite good - why I bought it in the first place!
Will post any further findings to this thread

Just installed v1.11.0.8 (10 min ago) and can already see big improvements.
But its to early for me to say that anything really is fixed. But it’s seems to be a good start at least. :)
Hi, does it fix the issues with Nest equipment? I had to switch off beamforming and MU-MIMO to keep the Nest equipment connected.
I don't have Nest but I have 3 Ecobee3 thermostats and they are fine. Also I should add, after flashing this FW I turned on everything including MIMO and Beamforming and it's been rock solid with all that stuff on.
Yes... been running 1.11.0.2 for a while now ( about 3 weeks) ... all my issues are gone.
No Ipad g2/os 935 not android battery drain issues anymore
The final solution is very near IMO.
Weird .2 was a complete disaster for me but .8 has been great so far.
Sounds great. Where did you get the beta firmware?
As per ktd's message, you should send a Private Message to DarrenM to see if you can get the beta firmware:

Thank you!
I've been on this new Beta FW for a few days and so far it's been good.
However I'm watching closely as the last Beta screwed up finally even when it was wonderful in the beginning.
- Can you send me the link for 1.11.0.8, thanks!!
Appreciate if anyone can send over the download link to v.1.11.0.8
