I have all my lights and at least 40 drives on these ordi’s flawless until this firmware update. Not none of my Satellite reach the base anymore without me standing 10/12 feet from the base. I have been working on this issue for 5 hours now and nothing works. All after the firmware update! What a joke, I was just telling a co-worker how nice the Orbi was. I am so pissed!

I had similar issue, but I was using two separate SSIDs.

Go to the Orbi router Firmware Update page and check if those Satellites are stuck in "Waiting for connection" instead of "No new firmware version available".

  Hi SW_
  
  When I first got the Orbi's I split the SSID's. Mine are doing exactly what you mentioned. Waiting for connection.
  What is your suggestion to fix this?
  
  Adding the RBS40 to my network not too long ago, I almost took it all back. Now this.
  
  Netgear - give people the option to update firmware! Don't make everyone!

    Two solutions that work for me:
    
    1. Revert back to single SSID
    
    - or -
    
    2. Revert back to v210
    
    #1 is less painful for me moving forward.
