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...
I would try that process to get the system set up then test it out.
If you manually updated FW, Satellite first, then router. I would factory reset both router and satellite, set up the router first, then re-add the satellite via wireless. Test the system out by simulating a power outtage by unplugging the system. Plug in the router first then satellite. The system should come back to full ready with out any intervention.

That's not a fix because you have to do it everytime the router gets rebooted. There's no way my mother can fix the connection by herself when I'm not at my parents' home.

Mine works as well. Daisy Chain is disabled here.
Any external network switches in the mix? If so, what is the Mfr and model# of the switch?
My firmware is V2.1.4.10, I have 1 satellite and no external switches (direct connection between router and satellite).
When I disable Daisy Chain, the wired backhaul doesn't work. I tried several times on factory resetted devices.
However I can keep it enabled so there's a workaround, but there's no permanent workaround for the reboot-related issue.

I already tried this, when the router/satellite come back, the wired backhaul doesn't work and I have to disconnect and reconnect the ethernet cable.
Does the wireless back haul work after a simulated black out? If so, I would use the wireless back haul until NG fixes this. I would contact NG support or one of the forum Moderators on here and let them know.

When Daisy Chain is off, the backhaul signal is weak (this is why I need the wired backhaul). When Daisy Chain is on, the signal is even weaker (I get the purple light and no connection).
You do get the a solid magenta light on the router, when using wired backhaul? If this is the case, this might not be an indicator for a non-working wired backhaul, but simply a bug in the FW of the router.
