Major Failures After Firmware 2.0.0.74 Upgrade!
ORBI firmware version 2.0.0.74 is failing! I have used the ORBI RBK50 system since Apr 2017. While running the 1.xx.xx firmware, the conection was incredibly reliable & fast. I had max speeds fro...
This was fixed eventually. Everything was working fine until the V2.1.4.10 update: now AirPrint isn't working. It would be nice if Netgear could perform some quality control.

I had the stability issue starting in 1.12.x.x. I called Netgear support but they where not very helpful, had me changing my MTU when I know that is not the issue as it was the same as my old router which worked well enough. I tried various settings but noticed the UPnP issue with changes coinciding with the drops of my RDP and VOIP sessions. Turned that off and everything quieted down.
Even after upgrading to 2.0.0.72 and then .74 it has remained rock stable.
UPnP was already off for many people here as we've been turning off features to try to keep it stable. Maybe there is something special about your hardware that is allowing it to work. Maybe the next firmware release should just clone your settings and force that to the rest of us.
