I was having nothing but issues with the satelites disconnecting and my devices losing connection. I had the beta firmware from the link when it was available and decided to pull the trigger on Saturday. My devices have not lost internet access a single time where previously it would happen 5 times in 2 hours.
As others have posted I am sure there are some issues outstanding but it has improved my experience to the point where I am totally satisfied and may unsubscribe from being notified of posts in this thread :)
For the record, I flashed, erased the NVRAM, factory defaulted and reconfigured everything from scratch. I did NOT run the speed test. I am a happy camper for the first time in a while :)
^^ I'd be cautious, though. That's what everyone said about the .18 update (for those who don't know, we've been experiencing these dropouts widely since March this year--as more people buy Orbi, more people suffer and post here).
It's like a merry-go-round of frustration: some people get off and ostensibly even more get on with the next firmware, even though most beta testers felt "really optimstic this one will really fix the disconnection issues". Somehow that didn't translate into actual stability in the final release.
I'm not counting any eggs until I see everyone with multi-manufacturer dropouts (i.e., the whole network, not a single device) state that the Orbi now performs as stably as a $400+ router should.
