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.

Let us know how it works for you...
This auto installed on my 850 & sattelites.... I did not manually download or install but it is there.
Mine too.
The device list is all wrong now. It’s not showing a number of devices and some of the devices shown are listed under the wrong connection (e.g., wireless showing up as wired, etc).
Otherwise everything appears to be working.

Did you power OFF the RBR and RBS for 30 seconds then back ON after the FW update?

I have an RBR, 3 RBS, and a busy house. It’s not conducive to run around turning items on and off after an update.
The tech is supposed to work for you, not the other way around!
Sidebar, I know you’re trying to help and appreciate it. My frustration is with the 1-2% of the product that doesn’t work as it should. For what has been spent on this wireless setup I shouldn’t need to moonlight as an IT help desk in my own house.Understand. However a power cycle maybe need to let the new FW and system and all the devices take effect. A reboot of the system may not be enough.
Last resort would be a factory reset and setup from scratch. Usually a power cydle should help first off. You may need to also power cycle the devices that are not appearing in the list as well after you power cycle the orbi system to be sure the devices are getting a new connection and seen by the Orbi system.
