OrbiOS 2.1.1
The Orbi team at NETGEAR is aware that some users are experiencing higher than expected Orbi Router reboots, special characters in WiFi Passwords and WiFi / Internet disconnects. We believe these is...
Let me give you a quick update on where NETGEAR is with the OrbiOS.
Just before Christmas break, we paused the distribution of OrbiOS 2.1. Very soon, we're about to restart the distribution of a slightly updated version of the beta (2.1.2). In addition to the major new features introduced in 2.1 (e.g. Circle, Ethernet Backhaul), this firmware is expected to address the high CPU issue, as well as the special character in PSK issue as well as support for the Outdoor Orbi. Check Release Notes for complete list.
We are continuing to work on the issues with Google devices that have been documented in the press (several users have provided links here).
My recommendation is that you should either use the Orbi Mobile App (if you haven't seen it recently, check it out, we've made some major improvements) or the Web UI to check for new firmware or wait until your system gets auto-upgraded.
To answer your question, Stars_fan. When Orbi are connected over Ethernet backhaul, the 5GHz band becomes hot standby.

Found a bug with firmware V2.1.2.10. None of my port forwarding seems to be working after the update.
I tried removing and re-adding but no joy. :-/

This is the kind of thing (if validated and no very very odd setup) that drives us a little nuts. What sort of testing process doesn't check core functionality like this? I hope it's a one off config issue and not broken across the board. My setup seems pretty stable and it is nice to see what's REALLY connected to each router/satellite.

I just checked mine...all 3 of mine ARE working with the beta. i will also add that mine are working with NO-IP dynamic dns service.
Checking some more I see that some are working.
For example in the screenshot above, RDP, Plex and Subsonic seem to be working while FTP, Ombi, and the 3 cameras are not. I also noticed I can no longer connect to my OpenVPN server.... :-/
System running all day after update at 2am
CPU running at 14%, 5 devices connected to SAT and the rest are connected to Router. Ram usage is low, remote access to camera's and other things during the day was spotless. So far pretty happy.
About port forwarding, I have 8 devices including 6 camera's they have all been working all day after the update
And my wireless printers are back to working normal again..
With that said what's this LED light thing, haven't found anything in the software on it
