i have one router and three satellites. the router is in ap mode, the satellites are hardwired to router. 

 

since the upgrade, satellites appear to be consistently dropping out and reconnecting. that appears to be the cause of my nest cams dropping out. 

 

i rolled back to previous firmware and all is well.

Finally, I solved the problem I was experiencing with the inability of my 2 Orbi Satellites to stay connected with my Orbi router.  After attempting to upgrade to v48, I was left with the router and 2 satellites on 2 different firmware versions.  Unfortunately, there was no apparent downloadable firmware file available from Netgear for a manual upgrade of a completely unstable system that wouldn’t remain connected to its other components.  Accordingly, I shut it off, tore it down, boxed it up and returned it to Costco and got my money back.  Netgear can’t get it right with this product.  Loved it when it worked but, oh what a mess!
