New Firmware 2.3.5.30
Just updated my Orbi to 2.3.5.30. Seems stable so far. I see few "ads" for the Orbi app and links for app download in the web GUI. Otherwise I could not see much more new things. I'm keeping to loo...
3 days now and my Orbi network is more stable than any other time.
- Devices are roaming much better and more consistent in 2.3.3.50
- Most importantly, my speakers are connected all the time and I don't see any dropouts.
- No more wireless devices showing as wired in Attached Devices.
- Logs in Orbi are consistent (no missing log types), and not getting full very quickly as when I had the wifi disconnects.
All what I needed to do after upgrading to 2.3.5.30 to get the system stable is the following:
- If you use wired backhaul, make sure that you sync the Satellite ONLY when the Satellite is wired to the Router to avoid having two different links between the Satellite and the Router.
- If -after the upgrade- you see some devices that show as wired (in Attached Devices) while they're actually wireless, then disconnect those devices from Orbi (forget wifi in the devices, and -if possible- reset those devices) and attach again.

Almost 9 days now -since I fixed the backhaul issue- with a very stable network like never before.
Looks to me that Netgear made improvements and fune tuning with the radio parameters:
- I see that Band Steering is working now more effectively. Devices that have 5 GHz capability are -mostly- being moved to 5 GHz.
- Devices are moving between the bands and between the Router and Satellite with no disconnections.
- At the same time I see less DHCP events in the Logs which -for me- means that only needed "roamings" are happening, specially for the stationary IoT devices.

3 weeks have passed and all looks good. More stable than any time before, indeed!
During the 3 weeks, I saw only once the ISP lease time issue where I needed to reboot the Router to fix, otherwise no other issue was seen!
