The 2.1.2.18 nightmare
I won't bother going through how angry I am at Netgear for this firmware MESS (I already have in several posts) since they don't bother offering ANY customer support after they screw you out of your ...

Honestly, I am unsure of what is causing the different issues that everyone seems to have. Netgear actually replaced my original router because we could get nowhere with firmware updates. The new one updated nicely and now I'm back to being the same happy guy I used to be.
However, it took two months of CRAP to get to this point and it shouldn't have come to that.

I have the issue where both my satellites would lose internet connectivity only. So any devices connected to the satellites would just not be able to connect to the internet. The only way to fix was to restart the router or the satellites. The router's wifi would work totally fine though. This is so annoying and I thought the latest firmware would fix the issue but 3 days after the update the same thing happened again. I have a support ticket open, provided all debug logs from satellites and router and still nothing.

I have noticed that some cameras have started to lose signal strength since I have see the signal strength indicator changes from green to orange. Even though I have internet disconnectivity I never had problems with signal strength though.
