7+ days of uptime since I installed the RBK53 system and online updated from 1.12.0.18 to 2.0.0.74, then manually updated to 2.1.1.16.
I do not use the Disney Circle option, and telnet is disabled so far. All satellites are wired.
I sure wish I had some idea what distinguishes my system from those with issues. NG would do themselves a huge favor by figuring this out sooner rather than later.
It sure keeps my interest hearing of systems that ran for months, then mysteriously began having issues after an auto update to 2.x. Makes me glad I bought at Costco in the event I find I need to return it.
Sorta kinda remaining in trust but verify mode with this wifi system.

Was having no problems with the Router + Sat combo. Seems the Nest cams are more stable under 2.1.1.16.
Did the unthinkable and router a 2nd sat today. Had issues adding it... Once settled, would not identify correctly where things were connected. .... Redownloaded 2.1.1.16 to redo the satellites just in case things were corrupted initially.
Magically, Administration/Attached Devices now works, although might still be a bit fishy. Devices don't seem to stay with the satellite with they're connected to - generally shows more the main Router as connection.
Will monitor stability. Nest Cams seems very stable. Earlier versions of Orbi firmware determined by Nest as incompatible with their cams. Maybe this one is better.
