Yea. It's on the latest firmware already. So unfortunately it's not that (it apparently auto updates).... I agree Mgomez, while when working it is actually amazing and seem less however it does seem to be fragile and has issues with its own firmware update ( I also had major issues with the firmware right out of the box!). Not living up to the price tag. For that amount of money on a router I want to set it up and forget about it lol

Has anyone found a resolution for this issue? I have been on the phone with Netgear for HOURS. They got it working for a couple of weeks with a bandaid fix making me put in a static IP but now it is solid magenta again. I have seen many people compain about this exact issue on other discussions but have not seen any with a resolution. All say the same that it will work for a couple weeks and then crap out and turn solid magenta again. Is it happening everytime there is a firmware update? Are their updates that unstable?

Hello Ares24

YES
Also got complete new devices.
Same issue.
Suffering since January and speaking with support since then. No solution.
New Firmware has new issue; loss of WIFI stability.
It´s not getting better...
I´m loosing my fanatism about Orbi.
