Fingers crossed.
Yesterday I updated to 2.1.1.16 and started having issues - lost the satellite, yada, yada, yada. Switched back to 2.0.0.74 and everything settled down.
This morning (≈ 14 hours ago), the system had auto-updated back to 2.1.1.16 and seemed to be reasonably stable...all devices were showing connected to the router, nothing to the satellite, and the Attached Devices page kept reloading every five seconds on Safari, but wifi speed was excellent and nothing appeared to be getting dropped.
Had some issues streaming with Sonos, so rebooted the system a couple of times through the day (still not sure that's resolved), but everthing seemed to continue to work.
So, this afternoon I decided to factory reset the satellite (saw someone had done that somewhere in this rather long topic) to see if the satellite would show up. Had a devil of a time getting the satellite to reconnect, but when it did the devices started showing up connected to the satellite. I had to forget the network on iPhones and iPad and reconnect, but it worked. That's been about five hours ago and, as far as I can tell, everthing seems to be stable and correct.
Attached Devices page reloading seems to be an issue with Safari, Chrome works fine.
