Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
New firmware is available via the GUI ....
Let's hope for success.
Some have said you can disable the auto update. I prefer to manually update FW anyways.

The auto-update of firmware 2.2.1.210 bricked my router. Fortunately a manual TFTP load of the firmware got it back up and running. This firmware version has caused major internet connectivity issues. All wired and wireless devices lose internet connectivity for several minutes, multiple times a day. It is not my ISP or any of the associated hardware.
I'm a new Orbi user. Bought the RBK33. Just installed it last night. Initial setup went fine. I manually downloaded the firmware (2.2.1.210) for my RBR40 router and the firmware (2.2.1.204) for my RBW30 satellites. I only need to use 1 satellite at this time, so I set up the router and then the satellite with their stock firmwares and they were working. Then I manually installed the firmware for the 1 satellite that is on and that went well, but then the router automatically updated itself, as well. After that, I said, "Well, might as well power on the 2nd satellite and update that firmware too just to keep it up to date," so I powered that on and manually updated its firmware to 2.2.1.204, as well.
I've been working on the network for half a day today and haven't had any issues.
Thanks.
Thanks for posting.
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. Sonething to keep in mind.

Hi FURRYe38,
Thanks. I'll have to keep that in mind when I go to use my 2nd satellite because I do want to use it in a daisy chain manner. Therefore, according to what you've linked,assuming we're still on the 2.2.1.210 firmware at that time, I will want to uncheck the daisy chain box in order to turn it on. Goofy. :smileyindifferent:
Thanks again.
