This thread mentioned Firmware 2.1.1.18 and what I found yesterday was 2.1.1.16; does this mean that Netgear feels that this"prior version" is more stable than the 2.1.1.18?
Maybe a lot of typos by people here, but to be clear on version numbers:
* 2.1.1.16 - Late December autoupdate release. Lots of problems. Pulled by Netgear before Christmas.
2.1.2.18 - January autoupdate release. Better but lots of problems for some. Pulled by Netgear a week or so ago.
2.0.1.4 - Current "best" release for autoupdates. Seemingly similar to 2.0.0.74, but may include the Krack fix and a fix for memory leak on satellites.
Yes. Netgear is effectively saying the 2.0.1.4 version is currently their best release.
FWIW, 2.0.1.4 seems better than the others I've tried thus far.
I would recommend to downgrade only if you have issues with the latest. Older version could have other problems.
Its a pitty Netgear don't release firmware source code for Orbi under GPL license or some custom very restricted license, community would fix these problems for them.
