New Orbi RBR50/RBS50 Firmware Version 2.3.1.44
Netgear is pushing out yet another a new Orbi firmware update.
Hopefully it's better than the last version v32.
Please share your experience.

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!- SW_Apr 06, 2019Prodigy

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.

SW or anyone that knows
how do I get 210 to stay , I tried the telnet, maybe I should shut down cable modem , upload 210, telnet and make changes, power cycle orbi’s then plug in cable modem?
Does a power cycle undo telnet settings?
Thanks to all !!
