Orbi Firmware 2.0.0.56 vs 2.1.1.12

Got the Orbi system from Black Friday and just set it up. Setup did a firmware update from 1.x  to 2.0.0.56. Auto update says no further updates are available. Website shows 2.1.1.12 for the RBR-40 router, and 2.1.1.18 for the RBW-30 sats. 

 

Performance has been pretty good, one of the sats has disconnected a couple of times in a week. Orbi app speedtest shows stated throughput (200down/35 up), while regular speedtest app is all over the map on downloads (10-150 down).

 

Thoughts on on doing a manual update for added stability, and if so, what is the best method (router or sats first, when to reset to factory defaults, etc.)

Being that some of the currently released firmware seems to be causing issues to some customers I would advise you to just leave it alone, if the router says nothing is available, leave it alone for now.
