Orbi firmware v2.1.1.16 discussion
do we need to do nvram wipe for this 2.1.1.16 Firmware just released today? noticed it downloaded automatically.
I have lost an entire day after updating and wonder if anyone has suggestions. Have had the orbi since june with one satellite, pretty much default settings...has been flawless. After it updated my Netgear Arlo's suddenly stopped connecting to the network as did my 10 room sonos system. Basically wireless was fine but anything connected to the router that set up its own network was toast. After several factory resets of orbi and Arlo I now see the camera's...whew. Sonos appears completely dead. I noticed it was an outdated email so tried to switch the email and still no luck. Factory reset Sonos, no luck. I can connect one sonos to the router and it will work, but much like the Arlos it can't communicate with any other device it is supposed to connect to. I literally have 8 hours into factory resets of all of these devices and I think my wife is about ready to throw me out of the house I am getting so ticked off. What is going on with this update???? For what it is worth, xbox both wired and hard wired are fine. Mobile devices all fine.

I'm far from an expert on this, but am curious if you tried manually installing the earlier firmware that was working ok for you? If that fixes it, I'd be tempted to turn off auto updates if you can figure out how to do that.
