I performed the manual update to Firmware v2.5.1.8 and everything except Circle is working fine. I had issues with NETGEAR Circle losing its connection before updating to v2.5.1.8.

Seen others with Circle issues. I recommend if your needing circle to work, please post about Circle over in the Circle forum:

Just did a manual update to Satellite and then Router for version 2.5.1.8. All went smooth. Things seem to be operating well. Hopefully it will stay that way!

Enjoy. :smileywink:

Done!

I can confirm too, I did the automatic update to 2.5.1.8 and all my devices went missing. Further the satellite backhauls were viewed as disconnected even though they worked. But my devices kept conflicting IP's and caused numerous disconnects. Had to revert and downgrade.

So odd how everyone gets different results. Since upgrading I have not had one issue. System has been rock solid.
