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...

Firmware 2.3.5.30 is an absoolute disaster. My orbi system was getting disconnected from internet time to time. Lets say twice a week or a little more often. In order to fix this I went ahead and upgraded the firmware to 2.3.5.30, now it keeps rebooting every 2 hours or even less. I tried to capture the traffic to see whats going on with wireshark and did not see anything obvious. Netgear please fix this. I cannot return this product because, I have been using it for a little more than a year.
Netgear, please fix this mess. I am a software engineer in a big software company any this is not how a product is developed. You guys simply making a hardware and push it out there with fancy new features without even testing it much. Please stop creating new models and work a little on reliability.

Just curious.....did you do the FW update manually or was it performed auto-update?
- AFDOct 14, 2019LuminaryI didn't perform any action from my side to perform the update . I assume it was an auto update .
It's a disaster , also WiFi is unstable . Let's see if I have some time today to rollback . For the moment, status is : all the devices connected to the main router with the mentioned problems .- Retired_MemberOct 14, 2019

It was a manual update. It was an attempt to fix my ongoing isssues with the earlier versions. Now I reverted the upgrade. Now it takes 15hours to 48 hours to go unresponsive :(
