New Features and Enhancements:
- Supports ReadySHARE Printer for Orbi devices that are equipped with a USB port
- Updated the OrbiOS API to v3.14
Bug Fixes:
- Fixes the iOS disconnection issue.
- Fixes the Dropcam disconnection issue.
- Fixes the convergence issue when an Ethernet connected device moves from one Orbi to another.
- Fixes the issue where the Orbi app can’t find the Orbi router if the router is using IPv6 and is in AP mode.
- Fixes the issue where the Orbi app can’t display more than 20 connected devices.
- Fixes the issue where the installation assistant might not display if the device is connected to the Orbi network wirelessly.
- Fixes the issue where the 2.4 GHz backhaul setting is disabled if the fronthaul MU-MIMO and TxBF is disabled.
- Fixes the issue where IPv6 devices on the guest network can access the Orbi router’s web GUI.
- Includes security fixes for the following security vulnerabilities:

It would have been to good if the problems could be solved just be erasing NVRAM.
After having done NVRAM Erase, NV Commit, Reboot, Factory reset and synchronising all satellites and the router there are still signal drops and signal strength variations.
Install a wifi analyser on your mobile and watch what the netgear beams do.
They stillll disappear / drop & come back.
I assume the problem is in the signal strength regulation of the satellites. Just a new firmware will solve that and we are back were we have been: HOPE for an updated firmware
It would be nice to know why they are having such of a hard time getting things to work right; I'm sure they are dealing with drivers from the chipset manufacters of the wireless tech they are using and trying to write software around it.

And it's very often the case that a factory reset and re-configure is needed when wireless drivers are updated.
But the nvram erase also being needed is unusual, that's an interesting observation.
As it isn't known when the wireless drivers are updated the factory reset and re-configure is probably needed on every update where things start misbehaving.

It would be nice to know anything at all.
DarrenM So are you ever going to provide any update here or are we just wasting our time? Seriously, what's the point of these forums if you can't tell us anything at all, and we have to find out everything third hand?
I've had a ticket open with your support team for a month and the only time they ever respond is when I ask what the hell is going on.
