Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
New firmware is available via the GUI ....
Let's hope for success.
Let us know if you experience any issues after updating FW.
Let us know if you apply the new FW and continue or if you factory reset the system and set up from scratch. Hopefully you can just update and continue, however if you seem to experience issue. Please try a factory reset if needed.

From a rock solid V2.1.4.16 to V2.2.2.210 and I have this (huge) problem. I "hate" autoupdated firmware...
I would try this, download the v210 FW files, manually install them using IE11 or FF browser. Factory reset the entire system and set up from scratch. Others have mentioned this resolved problems for them:

I need t reset to factory conditions and start over from scratch to get devices to switch to the satellite and also to stop showing the connection type as Unknown if they did show up on the statellite. All seems well now, though.
Glad the reset helped. Seems to be the norm for Orbi now days.
Enjoy. :smileywink:

My system went from good backhaul to poor on my two satellites when upgrading. I had on star connection. Tried several things (normal what one would do) to no avail. Change to daisy chain and now backhaul was good. Previously daily chain gave me poor backhaul and star good for all the time I have had Orbi (about 11 months). For some inexplicable reason, the system now works better on daisy chain.
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.

I have an issue. When this update happened it took longer for my sattelties to reconnect and when they did it first went to maggenta for a minute before blue. Also there is a bug or something but Now for 5ghz decives it will list the connection as unknown and connected to sattelite. Not really specfying. For wired and 2.4ghz its fine.
I think there is a bug in the new firmware. Even after I had to do a factory reset it still shows.
Please let me know if anyone else is getting this. My internet works but this is starting to make me irratated
- I have been having several issues with my devices (ring cameras, dell laptop, slow internet) and just found out the Orbi system updated before problems began. Please fix this soon!!
Try a factory reset on the Orbi system and set it up from scratch if the system was updated.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
