Orbi RBR50 Firmware V2.2.1.210
Stupidly, I updated my firmware yesterday, from a rock solid system to what seems to be, a less effective network: V2.1.4.16 to V2.2.2.210.
My issues is that signal stregnth is reported to be varia...
Factory reset the router and satellite and set up from scratch. Others have mentioned doing this resolved problems for them.
Thanks, I'll try it. I've reset the Plug In and router, but not the Satellite.
I'll try again tomorrow and let you know.
Thanks.

- I’m doing nothing, and hoping for the best. The 2.1.4.16 firmware was as good as I could ask for and would stay on it forever, if I could.
But I can’t...Same problems here very bad wifi, connections constantly fail, when viewing on network analyzer 2,4ghz channels constantly disappeering.
wife and kids almost killing me, but finally after 30 factory resets 300 topics found tyh answers and solutions #exaggeratemodusoff
But Yes you can prevent auto update; 2 options:
* telnet in your orbi (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Firmware-V1-12-0-18-Discussion/td-p/1320421/page/5)
* put download.netgear.com in the blocked sites
(i did the last one and so far so good. I see there is an update but i'm, still on 2.1.4.16)
Next time, If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually. Hoping NG support can have a look at this. So try this out as well.

Others have v210 working well.
Let us know how it goes...What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.

R- The separation is about right, add it's not changed since the unfortunate update. It's definitely the new firmware that's the problem. Previously the system was absolutely rock solid.
A further issue, not so important I guess, is that on the IOS app, the router is shown as offline when using a remote connection. (it's not disconnected of course, it's just another problem with V2.2.1.210)
The signal strength of the PLUG-IN is still significantly reduced.I would try this, download the v210 FW files, manually install them using IE11 or FF browser. Factory reset the entire system and set up from scratch. See if the problem continues, if so, you might revert back to last working FW version...
