OrbiOS 2.1.4 availability
A quick update. We're about to release an updated version of OrbiOS 2.1.4 in the next few days through our auto-update mechanism for all Orbi models. When it goes live, you should see a prompt in t...
Hi, running RBR50 (with V2.1.4.10) & 2 RBS50 (V2.1.4.10) .
since last nights firmware update, my network is dead. rebooting the router & Satellites dont help . searching this forum i see there is some issue with wired backhauls on v2.1.4.10( which i use on both of my satilites) . ive allready tried resetting the router & Satellites back to default . then as soon as i bring 1 Satellite with the wired backhual up, it crashes evrything .
im going to try going wireless on the backhaul , but this does not give me the best performacnce . can someone tell me if im missing something ?
thanks
With 3 satellites (1 wifi, 2 ethernet) on 2.1.4 I wasn't able to keep the system up for more than 3 or 4 hours (even after a full reset from scratch). I've only been using 2 satellites (both wifi) for 14 hours and no issues. In my opinion 2.1.4 broke wired backhaul. Going to run on two satellites (wifi) thru the weekend. If it stays up for the weekend I will plug the 3rd satellite back in (with ethernet). Will give progress update after weekend.
Disable Daisy Chain on the router?

reply to furrye88:
full reset
everything that I can think of is disabled and has been for months.
the following is disabled:
daisy
beamforming
mimu
fast roaming
I'm in AP mode and have selected channel 1 for wifi. Been working great until the latest firmware from two days ago. Been up for 16 hours now but not using ethernet backhaul for satellites.
After setting up one satellite via wireless backaul, then connecting the ethernet cable between the router and the satellite, how long are you waiting before checking the connection? 5 minutes in needed for the system to reconfigure the wired back haul. Are you seeing BLUE LED on the top of the satellite give time after the ethernet cable is connected?
Any network switches in between the router and satellite?
Connecting 1 Satellite at a time?
Disable Daisy Chain on the router before connecting the ethernet cable?

seems like wifi backhaul on both satlites did the trick . seems stable for now . ive been fighting with this all evenening , so ill wait a bit before trying the wired backhaul again . & now that i think about it, i do have an unmanged swith between 1 of the satilte (wasnt a problem before) .
after having sucsess swithing to wifi backhaul , figured id try 1 satilite with a wired connection . plugged in the ethernet & rebooted the satilite . after a couple of minutes the network became unresponsive ( wired & wireless devices lost network & internet access) . i waited close to 10 min then unplugged the ethernet & rebooted all the devices. evreyhting came back up & seems stable. how can i let netgear know wired backhaul is broken ?
