Update V1.9.1.12 Netgear officially announcing 'Improvement in wireless connection Stability'
Just downloaded the latest release V1.9.1.12 and noticed in the official release notes from Netgear it states as fix 'Continious Improvement in wireless connection stability'..Dosent spefically makre...
This is good news. I too have been provided the "newer" FW, but my attempt to install left me with a non-working Orbi, forcing me to role-back to the earlier beta FW. Perhaps something flaky with the older config, or something, left the 2.4G radio in a disabled state with the Satellite node and clients unable to connect.
None-the-less, I am going to try again tonight (if time permits) and perform a full factory reset and try to load it again.
I am very happy to hear your positive report.

Initiallu I encoutnered same issues as you.
The 2.4G somehow was offline but after a reboot it recovered somehow.
The satellite also have trouble accepting the new beta firmware. Just try using a different browser.
if you have updated to any v1.10 or newer firmware and are having issues with wifi not working go to advanced / advanced setup / wireless
check that the ssid broadcasts are not unticked
if they unticked , tick them and save / apply
this should solve the issue
its a known issue that netgear is working on , this is the work around for now
Good luck to you all. I have given up and sold my orbi at a substantial financial loss, but with a net gain. I gain back my time and lack of frustration in purchasing another product that just works. Unfortunately, Netgear has a great idea but only a half baked product, hoping that we/you will stick it out until it is fully baked. My fear in that is that with a 1.OMG release, there will be a condition in which the hardware will not be able to support the necessary changes in code to run properly, hence making an Orbi 2.(0H.. this is what it should have been from the start). I am personally not willing to beta any further. Too many issues for something that should just work.
Good luck all.

Tom,
What did you switch to if you don't mind telling us? I'm genuinely curious.
