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 ...
Any wifi neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try disabling MIMO, Daisy Chain and Fast Roaming. Can leave Beamforming enabled however test this disabled as well.
How big is your home? SqFt?
How close are the satellites from the router? Ft?

for a week it would just have random lag but now it full on crashes
I removed my equipment with 10G nics and anything thats outdated and IOT I could think of *bascially down to just 2 laptops and a desktopand still it crashed
(pretty sure If I just left it plugged in with nothing connected to it would crash itself in a week based on its software performance)
My experience after upgrading to 2.1.3.4 has been great. All devices show up correctly and ethernet backhaul working.
My only observation is that one device, Lenovo Yoga book (android) which is my most used tablet at home still dropped connection (seemingly after sleeping) whilst backhaul was wireless. Now with ethernet backhaul, it hasn't dropped at all.
Orbi finally working as expected for me.
When is Firmware going to be officially released ?
It looks like it is officially available. I can see it in my RBK50 web admin interface.
Yes - live - upgraded through the webif for both router and satellite.
Did a factory reset and re-configured from scratch in AP mode.
Monitoring.
