Netgear team: Please DO NOT Auto Upgrade firmware V2.1.1.16 to Orbi RBR50 devices
Hi Everybody, I work from Home as IT Support, I use the VPN "Pulse Secure Network Connect v8.3" to connect to costumer's network, however since this monday 12/25 I had a lot of drops from VPN every 5 to 10 minutes, I was very frustated because I was unable to work properly, I rebooted my modem from my ISP, also rebooted the Orbi Router and Satellite and nothing resolved the issue until I found that firmware V2.1.1.16 was updated in auto in my Orbi Router RBR50, then I read in Netgear Community about this firmware and the issues that caused, so today 12/29 I decided to downgrade the firmware to V2.0.0.74 and my VPN issue was resolved, now I have a stable VPN connection, Zero Drops, thanks God the downgrade worked fine, so Netgear team: Please DO NOT Auto Upgrade firmware V2.1.1.16 to Orbi RBR50 devices, Please listen to us, do not update anything in auto, is better to ask than just force an update and kill our work and life. if you need more information about my case, please let me know then I can provide logs or anything you need to document the issue on firmware V2.1.1.16. Thank you Sincerely Erik Bautista
