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'...
In 2.2.1.210 Netgear has fixed issues related to wired backhaul and I guess that this might have affected the sensitivity of the system to wired devices.
I'm saying this because I had all different types of issues with this release when it first came out in October: Wifi drops, no internet, worst internet speed, ... etc. I simply could not work from home becaue of my bad wifi at that time.
When I dosconnected the wired devices connected to the Satellite all issues were solved at once. I found out then that my wired speakers -for some reason- caused all issues.
I have now the best wifi network I've ever had, a very stable network with excellent coverage.
Please troubleshoot you issues by looking at your configuration and try to locate where the problems are. Look specifically at your wired devices. try first to disconnect all wired devices and if you see improvement, try to connect them back one by one to find the culprits.
Sorry, but sound sad, that you must disconnect your equipment to get everything working that was working perfectly before .210

Yes, not that optimum for me, but at least I solved my issue and now have a great wifi. I have the speakers connected wirelessly to Orbi and working great since the wifi coverage is excellent.
I’m saying this to tell you that Orbi is working for some people, the Orbi firmware is not perfect yet for sure, and seems very sensitive to ccertain conncted devices. I hope that NG will fix this soon.
I meant that with some troubleshooting, everyone can locate where the problems are, get Orbi working and get the best out of it. This will also help NG fix the right things in the coming software releases.
