Installed the v2.1.1.16 firmware this morning because the release notes said it would solve the problem of the satellite NOT listing the attached devices. Not only did this new firmware NOT fix the satellite problem, it seem to have effected the stabilty of my router. My router has rebooted itself twice in the span of four hours. However, in the interest of full disclosure, I did NOT do a factory reset on either the router or the satellite after I installed the v2.1.1.16 firmware. I did do a fresh reboot though.
I've actually gone back to v2.0.0.74 firmware to try and get my network stable again.

Same here!
Router was atleast stable until this update now it's crashing while I'm VPN'd into my work.
Bought this thing to stop network issues not cause them...
There better be a fix soon or I'm looking into eero.
Because of this router I can't stream my xbox to my PC anymore because it just doesn't play nice.
I accepted that because I do other more important thing on the internet that needs a stable connection. Now even that is gone.
Netgear PLEASE address this ASAP.
