jbrown316 , I don't know if anyone mentioned this to you or not, but if you aren't using Armor or the other add-ons from Netgear, and are just limiting access to your network through a Byzantine password and Access Control (like me), you might want to downgrade to v2.6.1.40, the other "fork" in NETGEAR's software path.  I had a hell of a time with the v2.7, and things got much better when I went back to 2.6.  I'm running v.2.6.1.40 and have not been a victim of un-solicited upgrades.

 

But a word of warning: Don't use the iOS Orbi app to manage accesses -- it seems to screw up the device database in the router (something I learned once the hard way, and foolishly repeated that mistake a week ago).  I've reported the issue.

More of what I've been saying all along 

these firmwares come out without proper testing and trial

this is been going on for a long time   The ones that suffer are those that are told or they feel they MUST upgrade, to include those who fully support this madness and slam those who oppose
