Well I took the plunge and upgraded the firmware, hoping it would solve things, and it only made everything worse.
When Orbi worked great for 10 months, I would get 120 Mbps out in my man cave. Since 2.0, it disconnected so frequently as to become untrustworthy, dying in the middle of streaming or gaming all the time. Now when I updated today to 2.1, my throughput has dropped to less than 1 Mbps in the same location. I've factory reset, I've resynced, I've restarted everything multiple times to no avail.
I've invested $650 dollars in this system and I'm going to have to eat it now and buy something else. This will probably swear me off of Netgear for good unfortunately.
For those of you for whom it's working, I really hope it keeps it up. It was fantastic for me when it did. If you want some satellites or an extra router for cheap, feel free to message me.

No comments or responses from Netgear on these issues? I have been following this and other threads.
