Your experience with Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
The other long thread on the new firmware is useless and has become a tech support thread. Please only post your experience after upgrading to the new firmware, good or bad. I'd like to see everyone'...
I have not had any issues in fact I did not know that my system was updated to this release until I checked after browsing the community site. The update was seamless as no one complained about noticing an outage (there are 4 of us plus friends and other family).
In terms of the environment, I live in a 2.5 story townhouse with a lot of neighbors also broadcasting wifi signals (I see over a dozen networks on my phones wifi signal strenght app). The Orbi runs in router mode attached to my Arris Surfboard SB6183 cable modem. IP service is from Spectrum. I have about 8 devices on all of the time not including phones, laptops and TVs. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I assigned specific IP addresses to the devices that were on most or all of the time. I use the range 148.192.168.0x for the Orbis, 148.192.168.1x for wired connections and start the DHCP range at 148.192.168.2x. I do not use remote management.
The only issue I am currently having has to do with the list of devices that are not currently connected. It reports almost every connection as having been wired when in fact they were wireless though one of the Orbi satellites.
