I've been fighting with this problem after firmware V2.1.1.16 which worked fine with ethernet backhaul. I tried disabling the auto update with no sucess. After today I am finally done with wasting hours of my time downgrading the firmware back to V2.1.1.16 and reconfiguring after each auto update. Good riddance Netgear Orbi RBK50 !

My problem exactly. I’m so done with Netgear and their $300 piece of crap. My old Apple Time Capsule may have given me half the speed but at least I could connect to the internet without rebooting the damn thing 2-3 times a day.
i bought in February and it worked like a charm. My dreams had come true. Netgear forced a firmware update after my return window had closed and now all I want to do is toss the freaking thing out the window.
