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 ...
The orbi mesh system has greatly improved our signal and speed in our 2,000 sq feet home, we have coverage in all rooms, however in the orbi app I do get satellites showing n/a or none, but the router shows them as being connected in the router Web page and all is good. We are on 2.0.0.56.
We hope the next beta available for your system will be even better.

Got this on Wednesday. Worked fine for almost 24 hours then dropped my internet connection. Switched back to my Velop and all was fine. They released this and I decidedx one more try. I reset the system reloaded the firmware and it seemed to be working pretty good. Then I started up on setting up my ring cameras and august locks. Both of therse reported a poor wifi strength. Which I thought was strange as I was within 20 feet of the satelite and it was on a wired backhaul. So I started looking into this some more and noticed standing within 8 feet of the Satelite both my ipad and iphone only got 2 bars on the signal strength.
I am pretty sure I am done with Netgear now. This is getting to be a pain each time they make a change to reset all this up just to find out they still did not get it done right. I have decided netgard products are not worth all this time. So its back in the box. I am not sured i even want to give this system to anyone i know. All it has been is trouble the last few months.
Indeed. I stayed patient, but in the end this firmware did me in. I rely on a stable network for daily use and Netgear just isn’t there yet. So far, with eero, I’m trouble free with more consistent throughout in pocket areas of my house.
So far working well. Wife hasn't complained about how slow the internet is and how its not working sometimes (let me clarify I do have AT&T gigapower so connection is not an issue, my problem has been wifi related). I will update in another 48 hours or so. So far its been about 18 hours since install.
