New Features and Enhancements:
- Supports ReadySHARE Printer for Orbi devices that are equipped with a USB port
- Updated the OrbiOS API to v3.14
Bug Fixes:
- Fixes the iOS disconnection issue.
- Fixes the Dropcam disconnection issue.
- Fixes the convergence issue when an Ethernet connected device moves from one Orbi to another.
- Fixes the issue where the Orbi app can’t find the Orbi router if the router is using IPv6 and is in AP mode.
- Fixes the issue where the Orbi app can’t display more than 20 connected devices.
- Fixes the issue where the installation assistant might not display if the device is connected to the Orbi network wirelessly.
- Fixes the issue where the 2.4 GHz backhaul setting is disabled if the fronthaul MU-MIMO and TxBF is disabled.
- Fixes the issue where IPv6 devices on the guest network can access the Orbi router’s web GUI.

1. Someone pushed-out a automatic firmware update that broke, at a minimum, the link between the satellite and the router (for many users);
2. This occurred late last week. It is now Tuesday and the broken firmware is still on the website and still auto-updating (and breaking) many satellites.
So putting aside whether someone actually tested this firmware before it was released, it is beyond me why Netgear would persist with an auto-updating firmware version when there are so many reports of problems. I don't think it is a stretch to suggest that the best practice would be to remove the firmware and investigate.
People on this message board are generally sophisticated users and this is a consumer product that is advertised as appropriate for general users. Can you imagine how many users there are who are not participating in this message board and have this problem? And yet the firmware is still auto-updating. Crazy stuff.
It's working fine for most users, just like it did prior to 1.11.x that broke so much.

How in the world do you know that???

Simple extrapolation by reading this board (where you'll have only users having problems report), Reddit, and common sense.

Common sense would tell you that you don't have enough data to make a call either way. You have no idea how many people are experiencing issues, no idea how many are not and no idea how many people own the product. You can't extrapolate anything meaningful from a tiny, slanted sample.
I'd suggest all customers are experiencing some kind of issue, but for many they have little or no impact, or they're busy calling their ISP because they don't expect a $500 router to be so flakey.
