Hey Furrye38
I was rock solid on the 2.1.3.4 beta version for several weeks. I've decided to give up on ethernet backhaul since wi-fi seems to be adequate. At least for now. I must have been auto updated to 2.1.4.10 and luckily have been up for several days without even being aware of the update. I know how to turn off auto update manually, but I wish Netgear would give folks the ability to turn it off from the UI.

Hey JP,
Glad yours is still working. Ya, if wireless back haul is working for you then of course, you can use it.
Seems that people are beating a head horse in regards to auto update. I persume NG is aware of everyones concerns. Its up to them to do something about it.
Good Luck.

Got my new replacement rbk53 yesterday, using last firmware now,i had rbk53 before but had to send back due to one defective satelite,now im trying again latest firmware,I have open purchases for 2 months,so far its workig great,have lots of device,nest protect systems,ipads laptops,many ip camera,iphones,nvr using ip camera, my kids is gamers.
So far its verry good at my place,using one router and 2 satelittes.
I have tried some other mesh/aimesh systems,asus,velop,lyra,so far i like orbi best.
I will try 2months now and se how it goes,if i have some problems in the future,after 2months i dont have any problem sending it back to my store.workig great 2 days:)
Using all my devices the orbi is the best for me i think.
