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 ...
What FW version were you using before?
Has a factory reset been performed after you updated to this Beta? If not, please factory reset both router and Satellite(s) then setup from scratch.
eljarvisowrote:"Provides protection for the MDNS packet flood issue"
Please check into this protection. Since installing this firmware I'm having nothing but problems with Apple Homekit devices that connect via Wifi/Ethernet (bluetooth devices that connect to my appletv homekit hub are OK). The devices flap between "No Response" and online in the Home app.
Already did a factory reset. I was using whatever the last stable 2.0 firmware was. With all the **bleep**ing around i've had to do with this piece of **bleep** i'm thinking of grabbing an old Cisco ASA5505 from work and using the Orbis strictly in AP mode.
Can let us know if that resolves your issue. Or revert back to last working version of FW.

Ok. Let us know if it fixes your problem. I would contact NG support about this and let them know. Might send a PM to the forum moderators on here as well.
Good Luck.
