OrbiOS MR 2.1 issues
I wanted to reach out to provide a quick update on OrbiOS 2.1 software. We believe that these issues are affecting some users. Rest assured that we've been following this issue and working hard beh...
Netgear Team and ORBI Users: Another thing I forgot to mention in my original post that helped me avoid connection problems between my ORBI Satellite and Router after upgrading to firmware version 2.1.1.18 was that I did not auto upgrade like I had in the past. I manually upgraded firmware and always started with the Satellite upgrade first then the Router upgrade like directed. In the past when I did the router upgrade before the Satellite upgrade this caused connection problems.
I see that 2.0.1.4 also has the issue of losing track of satellite connections, where the satellite connection list is missing entries that the router claims are connected to said satellite.
Current "latest" firmware is 2.0.1.4 temporarily until they fix more bugs in the 2.1 firmware. But you can use 2.1 if it works for you.
As previous user stated, it is possible some people have problems due to their choice of SSID or password. It would be nice if more people confirmed that their problems got solved by using the original SSID/password or using only lowercase letters (temporarily). Perhaps they have some parsing problems in the code and spaces, $ or quotes cause trouble.
I believe USB port only supports printers at the moment. This is not really an issue if you have NAS for hard drives.
