I installed this on my RBK853 devices last night.
It was harder than it has been previously, the impression I get is some new bugs have been added in addition to the obvious new WiFi bugs and, well, the fact this was meant to enable SPC and hasn't seems like the Netgear developers are trying (and failing) to make a bad joke.
I'm not sure yet how many devices are dropping and re-connecting but I know for sure that one of my 2.4Ghz devices is.
I've disabled AX on the 2.4Ghz band and I don't think the re-connect is still happening. I also have the impression (not certain and haven't been able to identify any pattern yet) that devices are favouring the router above the Satelites.
I will see how things go today but if things don't go well enough I may be forced to box up the Orbis for 6 months and maybe see how things are then.
The problem with that is then I need to decide what to change to, go to my RBK50 + RBS40 and see how that is going these days or go back to my ASUS GT-AX11000 + 2 x ZenWiFi XT8 with limited security options and non existent parental controls ...
The concept of pay for comprehensive security and partental control services is a good vision but without a solid stable system, both underlying operating system and products that vision will utimately fail and Netgear doesn't seem to be able to provide either.

One posted mentioned on the 7 series update thread that they contacted NG support about there TV no longer connecting to the system after last FW Update, NG said there seems to be problem in the RBS FW and needs to be fixed. They turned OFF the RBS and the TV now connects...wondering if this goes for the 8 series RBS...
