We’ve been monitoring issues that some customers have experienced in OrbiOS 2.1.4. In response, we’re releasing firmware that provides a permanent fix for the homekit issue along with various other f...
How did it "hose" your LAN? More details please.
How is the system configured and set up? Placement?
Any switches in between the router and satellites?
Was a power OFF of the router and satellites for 1 minute after the FW was updated, then power ON the router and let it come to ready then power ON the satellites 1 at a time performed?
Last resort, try a full factory erase on the router and satellites then set up from scratch. Others reported that this helped them:

Thanks for the replies! My "unmanaged switch" is my old router with the wifi turned off. Semi-managed switch?? LOL. Maybe there is still enough going on to cause problem. Regardless I plan to get an unmanaged 8 port becuase i'm maxed anyway. Just wanted to try out what I had. Appreciate the links to order of operations - will have a go.
Thanks

Let us know how it goes when you get the non managed switch in.
Good Luck.
