Orbi firmware v2.1.1.16 discussion
do we need to do nvram wipe for this 2.1.1.16 Firmware just released today? noticed it downloaded automatically.
After all i did last night (NVRAM reset, factory reset, and not changing much of initial re-configuration), i woke up this morning to see that both my router and satellite had rebooted (at the same time; their system uptimes were just a few seconds different). Its strange that both rebooted, i thought maybe a power surge, but the router is on a UPS (satellite is not).
Based on another user's stable configuration post, i modified my config to disable daisy-chaining (i only have 1 satellite), as well as disable WMM for both 5 and 2.4 ghz. Since i have an Asus router doing routing responsiblities (and QOS), i am guessing i don't need the overhead of Netgears QOS.
Will keep monitoring

If you disable WMM your Orbi's speed will be limited to legacy wireless-g speed (54Mbps). This may not be an issue for you, I hope not, but you should always have WMM enabled on both bands if you want to have wireless-n speeds on 2.4GHz. and wireless-AC speeds on 5GHz.
