RBR850 Frequent Disconnects Starting March 9th AM EST
Yesterday 3/9, starting at about 6AM EST, my Orbi system is disconnecting my Nest Cameras and Thermostat and my work laptop every 10-20 mins or so. I have about 20 devices connected to my mesh syste...
3.2.10.11_2.1.12 is the same firmware that started this mess. It isn't new. I have seen reports that Netgear claims the issue was "in the cloud" with no additional explanation of how or why that would impact LAN/WiFi performance. I have, to this point, still been having issues. I recently disabled the AX WiFi setting/features, and that may have improved connectivity with my WeMo devices and Pixel 2 XL phone that were seeing regular disconnection issues. Yesterday was particularly bad for my WeMo devices. Before I disabled AX features on my WiFi yesterday, 90% of them had been offline (not connected to WiFi, so nothing to do with Belkin's cloud...not able to connect to my LAN) for hours.
v10.11 was reposted on NGs download site I believe last week sometime. So users can have access to actual files again.

It has been posted on the site however was remove after users complained of having problems. This has since been resolved due to the issues not being related to the actual FW or files that came down from NG. The issues were on there cloud systems which have been fixed.
Users have been posting good operation after NG fixed the issues on there side on 3/19.
For users continuing to have problems after 3/19, please make a new post and we can being troubleshooting the problem to see where it maybe. This thread is getting long and the topic of this thread has been fixed.
