Quite happy with this firmware update 3.2.18.1!
For the Netgear Orbi AX RBK853 (Router + 2 Satellites), it auto-updated under the router admin and works successfully. I rebooted one of the Satellites to get a better connection, was a bit intermittent just after the update, but as soon as restarted all is stable. Fast and strong connection.
I also don't have any more DNS issues, however previously I did setup a 4to6 Tunnel under the router admin as well which helps mostly with that.

I did nothing... In fact, I dont know for how many days it has been installed.... I saw the post here and went and checked what version I had and it was already on the RBR and the three RBS's.
On my friends, I went to the Web GUI control panel and went to admin and Firmware and as it checked for what current version, it offered up the upgrade (where you had to click UPGRADE). Very odd that two exact systems would act so differently.
I have not power cycled nor factory reset.

Seems like this is a Major version which NG can auto push to users systems.
Well glad it's working for you then. Might make a new backup to file for this version of FW.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
