It's working great for me - installed ~24 hours ago, and I have no operability issues so far.
I wasn't having any issues with last few f/w versions either though.
Installed v2.1 yesterday with no issues noted so far. No special procedures, no NVRAM clearing, etc. Just a manual install via admin GUI, updating the satellite first. The only issues I've had since installing Orbi in January '17 have been due to misconfiguration of other devices on the network--Sonos on the same channel, running other WiFi routers, placing other wireless devices too close to Orbi, etc.
st_shaw I would like to use the nvram clear method, I used the speedtest built in Orbi and I suspect some of my buffering issues are because of that. I want to start as clean as possible with this Firmware version on the Orbi. if you could send me instructions of best practice including nvram clear step that would be fantastic. I know how to enable telnet.
