Wireless and backhaul problems with firmware 210, technical observations and tests

Furry,

With respect, not sure if your'e an autoresponder bot, or a netgear employee.  These suggestions you post on every discussion aren't helpful. The modem has zero to do with wifi problems on the backhaul connection.

If you read my post, I tried the daisy chain thing, other channels, etc.  I posted specifically what I did and what happened.  I have decades of experience in the networking industry and am trying to triage a reliability situation and share information.  The Orbi system, in mine and many other posters cases, has had major reliability problems specifically around the backhaul, which is why many of us bought the damn thing in the first place.   

I could have pulled cat 6e and wired most of the house, put in ubiquiti access points (which I know work perfectly well as I own them), but I instead went with Netgear Orbi, which I've had fairly good luck with (own a Nighthawk also).   But the Orbi has problems, period.  Its not up for debate.  Its not like there's 2 people with these wireless issues since the .210 update.   Its ton of people, both here and in other forums.  Blaming the cable modem, the house size, bigfoot or alien abductions will not help resolve the problem.
