My wife and I got so fed up with all the firmware issues and Netgear's inability to publicly address the problem that I ended up downgrading to v3. It's documented in solutions above, but I manually downgraded the satellites, then manually downgraded the router (have to disable the hide element on 'yes' button during the process), then reset the satellites and they automatically rejoined the router. I've blocked the update servers with my Pi-hole and, not surprisingly, everything is working fine again. This whole debacle is a friggen joke. My wife is an executive that works remotely 50% of the time and she was dropping off important company conference calls (most of which she is the host or senior member of), our TVs were constantly dropping connections, our wifi calling would fail, and the satellites were out of sync 50% of the time. It blows my mind that we haven't been given any sort of public apologies, offerings of complimentary assistance, or the option to return out products. I'm really bummed out that I didn't purchase through Costco, cause I would've sent it back like a bad habit. For now, I'm satisfied with the system working again, but I am definitely not offering the Orbi products as a solution to my clients anymore (and I've installed for probably 50+ households). Ubiquiti has had firmware issues in the past (they had a version 3 firmware at one time that wouldn't automatically upgrade and you had to SSH it), but nothing so catastrophic as this garbage and they were on the forums immediately offering assistance with resolution. I'm going to keep checking these forums daily for a formal update & solution, but I'm not holding my breath.
