Thanks for the feedback. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

I updated my RBK853 to the 4.6.14.3 firmware manually. Update went smoothly, no problems. First I updated the two satellites, then the router. After that, I powered off the three devices and swithed them back on after a few minutes. First the router, then the satellites. They all came back online quickly and are running fine. This is probably the most hassle-free update on my Orbi so far.
As from the previous update (4.6.9.11) I notice a very positive thing: devices connect to the nearby satellite and stay connected to that satellite. Before the previous update, devices switched back to the router after a while, even though there was a satellite nearby. Also with this new update I see my devices connect to the nearby satellite. That's great.
So far so good!
Update went smoothly and no problems to report so far (4 days uptime). Running in AP mode with two wireless satellites.
Still seeing the odd issue where the uptime on the LAN ports resets to zero - seemingly with no impact on anything at all, and with no obvious cause - but this has been the case for the last few firmware updates and it's not causing any problems.
If this stays stable for a few more days, I might try reconnecting one of my satellites to ethernet again to see if there's been any fix for the problem whereby devices (especially iPhones) would drop connection and not reconnect when switching between access points. I don't see that with two wireless satellites, but it was quite common with a mixed wired/wireless configuration.
