"I don't know if there are any differences in hardware but I have been reading the complaints here and they do not match my experience. "
Most likely there is an unknown combination of connected devices, traffic, and/or configuration that is triggering a bug on the Orbi. Those of us that don't see issues don't have whatever is triggering the problems. That is what makes these kind of issues hard to track down. Figuring out the unknown bug trigger with so many variables in home networks can be challenging.

Wow! I’m so surprised to see this thread. I’ve got RBK40 a few days ago and since part of the reason why i chose netgear over google wifi was due to circle, hence i upgraded straight to 2.1.1.18 version and things are very smooth since then. The only reason i searched for this thread was due to 2.1 firmware being listed under previous releases, and that confused me a bit.
Anyway, I’m a bit worried now because I’m slowly moving over my 20 odd wireless devices in my house to orbi and that might trigger the issues others are seeing.
I’m thinking of sending this back and getting google wifi + circle. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
