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 last unit of RBK53 had a problem with drop of network speed. My office network is 200 Mbps. however, it dropped to 40 Mbps. Dont know why. Running on 2.1.4.16 firmware
It was changed with a new one with a smaller packaging.
I thought the new one (also upgraded to 2.1.4.16) would be better but it could not handle alot of ARP messages from my CCTV. The last one could handle and the web page did not hang. This new one hang the web page and it became unresponsive. All the CCTV images could not be shown on my CCTV recorder
The Netgear 6300v2 was able to handle the same number of CCTV cameras. Why?
Another bug from Netgear?
I am currently running 2.1.4.10 (with no real issues) and when I log into the orbi, it's telling me that the 2.1.4.16 upgrade is available.
It's been like that for a couple of weeks (maybe more, I have not noticed). I've ignored it.
What is strange is that it has not auto-updated. I've not done any of the hacks to try to prevent the auto-update from happening so I am curious as-to why it didn't update.
I'm not complaining - my system runs fine and I don't particularly want to risk upgrading.
Hello MartyFp
This is how it is suppose to work we didn't want to make the latest firmware auto update just yet give people the option of running the firmware best for them atm.

Thanks Darren. That makes sense
Dear Darren
Is there any syslog on the Orbi Router? If yes, how can i access to it?
I want to know what is the cause of the Orbi Router web page hanging.
It was so busy that all my CCTV cameras disconnected from my NVR.
Also it also had hard time trying to find the satellites as well.
If it's working, then no need to update.

I am with you on that :smileyhappy: I'm just curious why it hasn't auto-updated.
Has the system been rebooted at all? Usually a auto update is triggerd possible by a reboot. Maybe NG stopped doing auto updates with v.16
Well, Keep going for now.
