RBR50 - 2.7.2.104 firmware - Issues?
To whom it may concern, FURRYe38: After upgrading my firmware to 2.7.2.104, I have been having issues. Devices successfully connect to the Orbi, but have no internet. If I reboot the Orbi and ...
Do try the factory reset as I described it. Make sure to use the same network settings (name and password). For me, EVERYTHING connected flawlessly.
I too had tried just a reset (or reboot really) with results similiar to yours. The factory reset seems to have done the trick.
The latest firmware (which, as I noted, I HAD to install) is working just fine now.
Wish you well.

It comes back after I reboot, but that only lasts for a few hours to half-a-day before I have to restart the router again.
I'm trying the DST/NTP sever update now, and will disable traffic meter and hope that works.
I think I'll have to do the factory reset. The updated NTP settings doesn't seem to solved it for me. Still getting regular disconnects. :(

How about the Traffic meter?
I think NTP is working fine for me. What are you using for NTP servers?
I ended up doing the downgrade to 2.7.2.102 before I read this thread. So I decided to keep this version and shut off Traffic Meter. I won't be turning it on anytime soon. My network is now stable and I like that! :-)

Reporting back in after a week -- doing a firmware reset seems to have done the trick. Did not turn on traffic meter after the firmware reset.
Wifi still very slow, I will move back to a previous release. Second time after a firmware update I need to refer back to a previous release. Thank you Netgear for your excellent work
Try a factory reset and setup from scratch next time. Not seeing any wifi isuses here with v104 loaded.
