Just upgraded to the latest firmware on everything. Still way too soon to tell - the addition of guest wireless is super nice. That was a big missing feature. Will check it out for a couple days and report back.
How is the new firmware? It isn't listed on NetGear website.

I updated the FW on Friday night, and so far so good - everything has been working tip-top, but I wasn't having any issues at all with previous FW versions either.
To do the update, I just kept refreshing my Firmware page within my Orbi's Admin page throughout the evening... The first several times I tried, it would load an update link for the router or the sat, but not both (one or the other would hang or just not load).
Finally, later that evening, I got both update links (router and sat) on that that page to load up, and so I did the update from there. It went fine.
