Netgear is pushing out yet another a new Orbi firmware update.
Hopefully it's better than the last version v32.
Please share your experience.
Firmware Update

Will this get pushed automatically to routers that still have a Router and Satellite at 2.2.1.210? I have a pair and the upgrade didn't get pushed. The Router and Satellite that had 2.3.0.32 got upgraded last night. On 2.3.0.32, I lost my internet connection several times and had to reboot to recover. I was planning on dropping back to 2.2.1.210 before I saw that a new version had been pushed. We'll see what happens....
Possibly not as the v212 changed the size of the FW load and needs to be applied first on any RBR50 series unit before v32 or v44 can be applied if coming from v210. If users want to ensure there system is upgraded correctly, I would recommend getting v212 then v32 loaded first and go from there. Manually load the FW files first. RBS should already be at v32 first. Then upgrade the RBR50.
I would do a factory reset and clean setup from scratch after this and then save off a new config backup to file for safe keeping.
