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'...

Change the CTR/RTS threshold values for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (2341 and 2345 respectively), changed preamble modes to long preamble, and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only.

2.2.1.210 is working perfectly for me. All 3 Orbis updated fine except 1 satellite needed to be restarted. No factory reset required and all is well.
I find I need to amend my statement after living with .210 for a while.
My iPad Air 2 disconnects from WiFi about once a day, dropping the connection for up to 30 seconds before it reconnects. This is while the iPad is stationary in one place.
I think I'll try one tweak at a time. If I change more than one parameter, I won't be able to determine which, if any, helped. I'll start with CTS/RTS threshold and see if that makes a difference. Sounds like (from net chatter) that might be the most likely to keep iPads from dropping WiFi.
This firmware is more buggy than the beta. Router doesn't detect the Sat in wired.
Try a factory reset and set up from scatch.
If your trying to get the satellite wired back haul, set up IP address reservations for each satellite and devices on the router as you add them to the router. The satellites need to be set up via wireless first. Then connect 1 satellite at a time to the ethernet LAN cable. Wait 5 minutes and the top led on the satellite should turn on BLUE. Set up an IP address reservation for the 1st satellite. Continue to do the same thing for the 2nd satellite. Then follow up with your devices.
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.
