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.

Will do. Just picked up a new one, but not going to open it until I have exhausted all other efforts.
There is a Hurricane bearing down on the gulf coast so not sure I would be able to leave the house to find one later.

At the risk of being that really annoying Brit, why is it that all the good folks posting on here with issues have eirther a really bizzare set-up / configuration or tinker under the covers.
My system has, on the whole, been rock solid and I have many other manufacturer's peripherals attached. Seems to me 'KISS' is the way to go here!
Out of all the Orbi systems Netgear sell I wouldn't mind betting that the vast majority work just fine.

I'm with you on that one, says another annoying Brit.
The only exception to this is when it is useful to have the Orbi router in AP mode because you have a better router. For example, one with USB ports that supports ReadyShare.
Other than that, leave well alone.
