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 bought the system and had to upgrade the firmware. Now i cant connect the satellite there is no responce at all. I had contact with support by phone and they said there was something wrong whit the new firmware. The backhaull is not functioning, the advice was to wait for the new firmware. There is still no new firmware. Is there another sollution to solf the problem?

    Abke Please check your wired devices. What devices do you have connected to the LAN ports? It seems that this firmware has issues to handle certain wired 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.
