Have had a STABLE connection 6 WEEKS ON 2.0.1.4!!! Now the udate to 2.1.4.10 has screwed that all up. Router resets every 15 to 60 minutes. Both router and sateltie are on 2.1.4.10 and both have been factory reset. Still resets keep happening. Going to reset to 2.0.1.4 again. If this keps happening will be getting rid of Netgear product and going else where. This has been going on for far to long.

Whats the Mfr and model of the ISP modem that the Orbi router is connected too?
Any wireless neighbors near by? If so, how many
What channels are you using? Try manual instead of Auto.
Fw update should try a full factory reset on all units then set up from scratch.
What is the distance between the router and satellite? 30feet minimum to start.
Whats the size if your home? SqFt.

Got the 2.1.4 update through the web GUI. Took just a few minutes and all appears to be in order. No factory reset. Wish me well.
May the force be with us all...............

As I said Full Factory reset was DONE. I have an Arris TM1602 provided by my carrier. My house is approx 2400Sqft. The units are approx 25 ft apart. BUT NONE OF THAT SHOULD MATTER!!! The ONLY thing that changed in the past 6 weeks is the FW!!! everything else is EXACTLY where it has been and had a STABLE connection for 6 SOLID WEEKS!!!! I am not a tech guru by any means, but common sense dictates where the issue is without a doubt.
