Orbi restart issues
Looking at the Netgear Orbi as a mesh wifi solution. Very good reviews all over the place but I also saw the following at TechRadar (https://www.techradar.com/reviews/netgear-orbi):

I have turned off breakers powering the satellites and routers together and separetly and have had a power outage. Everything behaves as expected once power is restored. Sorry if this bust anyone's bubble.

We all have different setups and different problems. For example, I'm using wired backhaul, and guessing that makes recovery from power outages more problematic. I imagine the Orbis power up looking for wireless backhaul first.
My bubble is still intact. Now if someone replies their wired Orbi system restores perfectly after a power outage, POP!
i have similiar issues and I also put both my orbis on ups backups. I can restart them fine if they are wireless but ethernet backhaul creates another issue. If i have to restart I will unplug ethernet backhaul, restart both systems and let them sync. then plug ethernet back in. Its the most efficient was I can do it. This only happens if I'm changing firmware or a major network change that requires me to unplug the router. The backup keeps everything up and running with no issues.
I am experiencing the same right now. The problem is that I can't get signal to all parts, so it sounds like I have the exact same problems. Wired backhaul is horribly implemented.
We appear to have the same issue, After rebooting the router, we have to hard reset the satelites with a needle.
Looks like double IP numbers are issued and.or the DHCP is not well implemted...
any tips?
What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the IP modem the Orbi is connected too?
