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'...
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. This is for wireless connected satellites only and problems seen with them.
Regarding the daisy chain issue after the inital download: I downloaded the update again from the Netgear site and reinstalled manually due to poor backhaul when daisy chain is off. This changed nothing. However with daisy chain on, the system is selecting star connection (hub and spokes). For my set up, the daisy chain on puts the system into a "select best" mode. With daisy chain off the system seems not to really know which way to go. Before the update, daisy chain on gave poor backhaul. Now it seems to only work well when on, and then the system selects a star pattern as the best connection.
It's a feature.
Thanks for letting us know your experineces. Hopefully NG support can give us some information on this.
