Bug Fixes:
- Fixes the iOS disconnection issue.
- Fixes the Dropcam disconnection issue.
- Fixes the convergence issue when an Ethernet connected device moves from one Orbi to another.
- Fixes the issue where the Orbi app can’t find the Orbi router if the router is using IPv6 and is in AP mode.
- Fixes the issue where the Orbi app can’t display more than 20 connected devices.
- Fixes the issue where the installation assistant might not display if the device is connected to the Orbi network wirelessly.
- Fixes the issue where the 2.4 GHz backhaul setting is disabled if the fronthaul MU-MIMO and TxBF is disabled.

Went to create a thread and noticed this beast...
Just purchased the RBK50 set. Router seems to work fine and the satellite works great when first paired, but as soon as the satellite gets powered cycled it no longer works properly until the whole system is factory reset. The strange thing is, that the satellite's ring does show it is connected (solid blue ring) and detects when it drops connection from the router (pulsing magenta ring), however if you plug into the satellite it doesn't assign IPs, and the Orbi status page shows no connected satellite.
Anyone having sucess downgrading the firmware? If so, does it just auto-update and break itself again?
Don't really mean to sound like an ass but I'm just speaking as a software engineer. Why do you force updates when you guys release updates without proper testing? I see you guys are trying to make it convenient for people that lacks knowledge but this is a pretty attractive hardware on paper that attracts other type of users.
I'm starting to think my 5Ghz band is still off even with the factory reset. Now I have to deal with downgrading just to turn it back on. I can't connect to 5Ghz even when I'm right in front of the satellite and the router. None of my devices are connected to 5Ghz.

I've been on 1.11.0.20 with no auto-updates yet. The simplest thing to do is to add a domain block to downloads.netgear.com in Advanced > Security > Block Sites. Set Keyword Blocking to Always and apply the setting as soon as you've manually updated. If you're comfortable with telnet, there's a guide on page 5 of this thread to also manually set the config auto update variables. I have both of these steps in place, but I think the first step should be sufficient.
