Firmware 2.2.1.210 released as of 10/3/18
New firmware is available via the GUI ....
Let's hope for success.
Ok thanks!! I think the main difference between our setups is yours is wired backhual. My 5g connections show as unknown and it will just say Orbi Satellite instead of the custom name I gave my satellite. Very frustrating.

Yeah mine are the same too, unknown which ticks me off a little, Hopefully Netgear is listening
Does yours say "orbi satellite" for connected orbi instead of the name you gave the satellite?
For me, I never named my sattelite, but I just named it now, and everything looks correct, all connections to sattelite show the new sattelite name.
So thats weried its like this firmware update works for some people but for many others its not working. I had powercycled my stuff when it was doing the update for mine, so thats why I decided to factory reset the first time since I believe that reapplies and fixes the firmware right? Well at least for the internet part.

If your still seeing “orbi satellite” instead of the name you gave it for the connected orbi try enabling daisy chain and see if that fixes that. As soon as I enabled daisy chain everything started reporting correctly in the mobile app and web interface and my devices actually started switching between the router and satellite.
