Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

No, I have done that enough times before with zero effect, I am not going that route without a really good reason to do so.

I have the Orbi 850. I wrote about issues I had with 4.6.9.11 earlier in this group. Netgear pushed out the new firmware in July/August and was recommended by Netgear support to go back to Firmware 4.6.8.5. That resolved my issues. My Orbi has updated me again in the last two days to Firmware 4.6.9.11. After taking it back again, I am back to Firmware 4.6.9.11. So I have downgraded three times and am now back to the new one again. Is anyone else getting this update forced on them?

Certainly looks like an awkward situation. Netgear support recommends loading older firmware, but the first release to officially offer customers an option to disable automatic firmware updates is V4.6.9.11:
