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.
No. I did reboot the system via the app.
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.

I undersdand your frustration, but if you don't follow the normal suggested procedure after an up date, it's like changing your oil on your car and not putting the plug back in. Something will go wrong in most cases. There are so many differrent devices, (my personal system has over 25, from TVs to cameras, PCs, printers and more), that it is always a good idea to reboot all of them after a firmware update.
One other thing I found is everything works better if you use IP address reservation. No more failed to connect devices because the expected IP address was already assigned.
