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'...

I have the correct wireless security option and 20/40 coexistence is on. Every version of firmware since 11/17 has worked fine, until now.
ratb3rt Can you please -just for testing purposes- test to change your wifi password to a simpler one and test if there will be any change, and then set your original password back. NG might have changed something in security handling in the latest patch?
I see that Carrier Infinity Touch thermostat has similar issues with many other products like Eero, Lynksys, D-link, so it's not only Orbi :)
I don't know if that suggestion was genuine or a red herring. The password has to have 8 characters regardless. So mine was pretty simple but I reduced it to 8 characters. No change. Please don't bring up that the thermostat is having issues with other routers without details. It's just hearsay if you don't. I added my Asus RT-AC66 to my network as an AP, updated to the latest firmware and no issues connecting my Carrier Infinity Touch thermostats. And if there was an issue, I could roll back the firmware on the Asus router!
