Can't wait any longer; 2.0.x has deteriorated for us over the past several days as well to the point where my wife is asking for something else. Just ordered a different system, once installed this weekend the Orbi is going back to Costco.
Its so nice since Sunday my network has been rock solid. No problems at all. I put the orbi on a shelf and stared using a velop. With luck netgard will lean how to fix this issue and i can return the velop. But not counting on it.
Any more updates?
I've got what I believe is the top of the line system (the RBK53) and I even bought another RBW30 for my garage and I have to be completely honest; This system sucks. Tons of throughput issues/lag/disconnects/ethernet backhaul crashes if you hook up to the WAN port in AP mode, tries to assign the satellties an IP on a completely different subnet (and a dupe no less!) but I had to plug into the WAN port to turn off the damn magenta light lol Heck even wiht eth backhaul off and the WAN port hooked up response time is notably slower for some reason. So long story short if I dont see something with an actual commitment here IE We will have this firmware out by X date I'm taking all $600 worth of this stuff back.
