I too was for weeks on v2.1.3.4 with zero issues. Then during the day yesterday I lost internet connection. I logged into the webUI and noticed that only two of my three satellites got upgraded to v2.1.4.10. The lone satellite that was on 2.1.3.4 effectively brought down my whole network. NETGEAR STOP AUTO UPDATES...I was planning on updating myself on the weekend but the autoupdate FORCED me to do a whole ORBI reset after what was already a long day at work. To be safe I reset the router and all 3 satellites and hopefully my system will be stable for awhile (until the next auto update).
GIVE ME A GUI CHECKBOX TO TURN OFF AUTO UPDATES.
No, I don't think so. At least not until Netgear puts this process into their user manual or blesses the steps officially. God only knows what has changed since this amazing client figured out what the Netgear internal fields/values were. I, and most of the folks having problems, have done enough beta testing for Netgear.
I sandbox OS updates and make sure they are solid, on my own time. I sandbox work-related program updates and make sure they are solid, on my own time.
I can only hope that Netgear figures out what they've broken and eventually fixes it. Until HomeKit and Auto Update are addressed, my Orbi system will be gathering dust.
I'm back to my ASUS 'network' (after 8 months of this excrement) until I see HomeKit, and Auto Update, addressed in the release notes.
