Your experience with Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
The other long thread on the new firmware is useless and has become a tech support thread. Please only post your experience after upgrading to the new firmware, good or bad. I'd like to see everyone'...

Would be nice if NG would stop autoupdating the firmware, everything was working smoothly with an old firmware I had and then this V2.2.1.210 happened automatically. Now my internet slows to a crawl then drops completely. Something is definately wrong with the upload speeds as well, during a bandwidth speed tests upload went to zero. This firmware is terrible. It keeps dropping my ipads, macs, android phones.

If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually. Hoping NG support can have a look at this. So try this out as well.
