New RBK50/53 Series Firmware Version 2.7.3.22
Bug Fixes: Fixes the DNS query failure issue that occurs when traffic meter and daylight saving are enabled Security Fixes: This firmware addresses security vulnerabilities. For more informatio...
Update from me on this firmware. After using sometime I was getting rpoblems with wired devices. These devices did no longer get connection. Power cycle of the (non managed) switch resolved the issue. Howerv it returned then suddenly I noticed that my Andorid S10 phone (latest firmware) did no longer get good connection to the Wifi (no internet and no data).
Switching off router and satellites did only fix it for a few minutes and then issues start re-occuring. Other HW also wired connected did not get any internet anymore.
Full reset of the system (by using the reset button on the back) and then restore fixed everything anf the system is working again. It looks like it corrupted somewhere.
Another great experience of Orbi. I decided to purchase another system and will sell this. Too many issues
This release is broken as well. Wired devices connected to a hub have drop outd and loose internet connection for short time
Yes i tried factory reset.
When will Netgear finally release a firmware that is working? This is becoming a big joke.

- Apologies with hub i mean satellite
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?One User Experience/Configuration:

With the new release i am having these drop outs. This is 2 releaseas after each other that are buggy (not mentioning other releases that were buggy). However because you need to have lateste security patches I am forced to move to the lates SW release.
I have a LG smart TV and a Chromecast connected to the satellite using wire. Both devices report short losses of internet connection. Yesterday I wired these devices directly to the router and it was working perfectly. It seems that the satellite has short drop outs with the Router or has problems with wired connections.
The satellite backhaul I left wireless as wired backhaul caused all kind of other problems in the past with the buggy firmware.
HW setup did not change between SW versions! Therefore setup is not improtant but trsut me I looked at the setup carefully in the past.
