Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
New firmware is available via the GUI ....
Let's hope for success.
My RBS50 is now constantly dropping internet connectivity with this new firmware 2.2.1.210. It was rock solid on the previous firmware and I had no complaints. Suddenly my internet became flakey with everyone complaining and noticed that an auto firmware update now has installed an unstable firmware. I moved it back to the previous version but the satellite loaded the new one in again after a while.
I am getting tired of these buggy releases. They need to fire all their QA and get new people or implement a proper QA process. If our dev team put out crap like this several times as we have experienced from Netgear IT, my team would have all been fired. Why is the Product Manager and Business leaders allowing this to happen over and over?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually. Hoping NG support can have a look at this. So try this out as well.
