Orbi MR 2.1 Update 3/23/18
Our teams are still working through the issues, but I wanted to provide a quick update on OrbiOS 2.1. We usually wait to release our software until it's available across all Orbi product lines, but ...
I have updated my two RBS50 satellites and the RBR50 router to 2.1.3.4. Now, one satellite won't sync, and the other shows a backhaul of "Poor". Before, I had "Good" for both satellites. I did have multiple dropouts, however. These units have been problematic for me since day one with multiple firmware updates and excuses from NetGear.
I factory reset the router and both satellites 3 times now with the same results. I'm dont wasting my time with these.
NetGear - get your **bleep** together. What a terrible product. I will donate these to Goodwill.
DO a FULL FACTORY RESET on the ROUTER and SATELLITE(S)!!!

I did, and I'm done doing them now. Crap product with even crappier firm and software.
Sounds like you need to phone contact NG support and have them help you. Others are having good luck with Beta FW.
