I wonder if that's the solution, to reset BEFORE doing the upgrade. I had issues with the last two firmwares and finally had enough and exchanged my Orbi for a new one at Best Buy since I had a protection plan on it which was about to expire. Before I set anything up, I upgraded the satellite to 4.6.3.16, then the router, and then I finally set everything back up from scratch and everything has been running smooth for the last 6 days. The Orbis are in the same exact spots they were in originally and working like they were when I first got them back in Jan. 2020. The final straw for me was the backhaul kept failing and saying it was out of sync and like I said, the position of the satellite hasn't changed for close to 2 years. Hopefully everything stays stable like it has been but I won't be jumping on firmware updates like I normally do and wait to see how they effect others before taking the plunge this time and will reset the Orbi before doing any upgrades, even though it takes a little longer.

How is this possible when NG auto updates the FW when they see fit? How would I know to reset BEFORE they force a new FW on me?
