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'...
Try and downgrade back to v.16 to see if that helps any. You'll need to block auto update.

OK....I'm unsubscribing from this topic. WAY too many posts, for WAY too long...with no comment or resolution from Netgear.
I think its clear now that Netgear doesn’t care, and believes providing the same responses will somehow change the outcome.
I too have given up on Netgear.
I tried Orbi when it first launched and witnessed the disaster it was and how NG did not care then. Luckily I was able to get a late return so I did not get financially burned. But I will never get back the countless hours, days and weeks, spent trying to make that product work.
Call me stupid, ignorant, etc, etc....I thought I would try one more time with NG using this Orbi Pro....
Guess what...
NOTHING HAS CHANGED!
And my final lesson learned.
We now live in a world where “If you want quality” and a company “who cares”...YOU MUST BUY TRUE COMMERCIAL GEAR. And stop living the illusion that companies such as Netgear will give you that quality.
Netgear is a consumer product company who clearly makes products as cheap as possible and outsources everything they can overseas. When they make mistakes, they will not own it. Nor will they show an ounce of concern. They will use the typical support robots who will give the same scripted responses they were trained to provide.
I too will be unlisting from this thread. Luckily I was smart this time and purchased an extended third-party warranty which I will most likely be using soon.
And never again will I look back to NG for ANYTHING.
Funny, I was looking at Netgear for a 10Gbe switch....But looking at the reviews, “its the same thing”. Bad products and constant complaints about how horrible Netgear support is.
