Does yor network work properly though? My install worked perfectly but now devices disconnect if they are idle, and network loses connectivity to the internet. I have had to reboot 10 times in the last 2 days. highly disruptive. Very poor quality in software development process.

There is a horrible situation that started with the change in Daylight Saving Time that causes certain Orbi RBR50 routers to stop resolving Domain Names until they are restarted. Netgear engineers have traced the problem to a coding error in the Traffic Meter feature. Looks like there is abolutely no chance Netgear will release a firmware fix before April, so the easiest solution is to go into the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab, Advanced Setup, Traffic Meter (toward the bottom of the menu) and uncheck "Enable Traffic Meter" and Apply.
