Firmware 2.0.0.74 incredibly unstable
My Orbi system is practically unusable currently with v2.0.0.74 and 2 satellites. I cant watch an evening of streaming TV without the sateliitle disconnecting and becoming unusable. I have tried to disable the new daisy chaining, just as unstable using old method - tried to down grade software but it just auto-updates again - works fine on the downgrade version until a forced update... This is an incredibly annoying to have poor updates forced on us and this new feature clearly requires beta testing. I just want my working 1.x version back. Tried the forums advice to prevent the auto-update but eventually its overwritten. Problem I face probably stems from the fact my Roku is connected via hardwire into the satellite Orbi and not the central router - worked fine for 6 months on version 1.x but 2.x that seems impaired. The communication back to the central router is severely compromised. Not impressed Netgear - pull this software release - its not primetime ready. Really quite unacceptable to have wifi this unstable.
