Announcing availability of OrbiOS 2.1
We’re excited to announce that OrbiOS 2.1 is now available for immediate download here: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBK50.aspx#download https://www.netgear.com/support/product/RBK40.asp...
Let me give you a quick update. We've been following this and other threads on OrbiOS 2.1. There are 2 issues that we're tracking
1. Attached Client Devices aren't showing up correctly on the right Orbi. For the most part, it shows the devices are attached to the Router, even though they've roamed onto a Satellite.
2. The Attached Devices page isn't being populated. To clarify these devices are still connected through the Orbi to the Internet. The issue is that the UI isn't representing it correctly.
We've got a fix that addresses these issues coming soon. I can't provide a date right now due to corporate policies, but soon.

AmitR - does Netgear also recognize the disconnects (both loss of internet, and loss of the wi-fi network in general) that also appear to be a significant issue with 2.1? Are there any plans to address those problems?
I've experienced it myself...recent brand new install of RBK30. Arrived w/1.x on it - rock solid. Upgraded to 2.1 on my RBW30 last night...disconnects start happening (loss of wi-fi network entirely, or loss of internet on wi-fi network) across all connected devices from last night after upgrade until this morning. Roll back RBW30 to 2.0.0.34, and all is well again.
The basic stability and reliability of the wi-fi/internet connection is a MUCH bigger issue than the display issues in the router EWS. '
Do you have any info on investigations/progress on those issues?
