so start by running your rbk50 properly before selling another one.

So sorry you are having an issue. Please upgrade to the new Orbi Beta firmware through the manual upgrade process. Feel free contact NETGEAR Support if you’re having issues with MR 2.1.1 (even if you’re outside of the 90 day window).

There are already 250 comments regarding ongoing issues with this beta and how unstable ORBI is becoming. https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/OrbiOS-2-1-1/td-p/1476960/page/11

Is this really the place to be showcasing and promoting a new product whilst there are still so many outstanding problems with OrbiOS 2.X.X Firmware ?
Not for the first time has Netgears focus been on promoting new products to the detriment of current products.
But, to then suggest that a user upgrade to a "new" firmware as thought that is going to solve the problem - the upgrade firmware is the one released a week ago and has 254 comments clearly showing that it too has problems.
Like many on the forums initially I had a stable system for a considerable time but of late it has turned into a total nightmare.
Having paid approx £400 and with no possible chance of returning it, I have no alternative but to suffer on a daily basis. Even when it is up and running I know its only a matter of time before it comes crashing down again.
With hindsight I should have cut and run, but I didnt in the belief that every effort would be made to quickly rectify problems and move forward.
How wrong I was and now seeing yet another new product launched whilst I have no confidence in the product i bought a year ago does not make me feel a valued customer.
So to all of those who purchase the new product I wish you well and good luck.
