Orbi Firmware 2.3.1.60
Welp, anyone have any notes on this thing? It's already downloaded to my router and satellite waiting for me to pull the pin.
Hi,
Just for information, when you're in the Firmware Update page and it downloads new firmware to install, the version number next to both the router and the satellite is a clickable link.
If you click the link, it will show you the release notes of all changes between your currently installed firmware and the update.
Although, this "feature" is not hidden, it's not always obvious that it's there either.
Just chiming in, this FW has borked my setup.
I was rock solid on the previous version for a very long time.
Now my symptoms are WiFi dropout for all devices after 24-48 hours of use.
I really don't want to reset everything and troubleshoot. Not again....
This just sucks Netgear. I hope you are reading this. Awful history of junk code released to the wild.
Rant over!
Was the FW loaded via auto update or manually? If auto update, try a manual re-load with downloaded FW files. Factory reset and setup from scratch.
I've had zero issues with v60. So have others after doing a factory reset.

Auto update. I simply don't have the time to continually be Netgears beta tester nand troubleshoot. This is complete bullcrap.
Back to last revision I go, then I will try and lock it in (until reboot).
What a POS this gear is turning out to be.
