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 have similar issues with you guys. I had auto update on, and after updating, it started to be unstable. I never check my router but these days, connections are unstable. Sometimes, signal is there on the client but there's no bandwidth because the satellites backhaul isn't good. Network map changes from green to yellow and yellow to green. Keeps fluctuating.

Has anyone experienced sudden problems with "unable to connect to network" after the update?

Extremely annoying and the kids are complaining as it is affecting their school work. Just as well I have a secondary wifi network system as backup......never trusting fully these relatively new stuff in the market

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.

Did every options mentioned on this community.
Factory reset, manually update router and sattelites. checked every box on and off.
It's kinda stable (with almost every intelligent technology off), but when i stream a couple of wifi ipcams, the wifi falls down. (they use 200 - 300 kb stream so it should manage this).
So i think there is still a bug in the firmware which tears down the wifi when the load is getting bigger.
So people netgear, please fix it in an update.
