Orbi MR 2.1 Update 3/23/18
Our teams are still working through the issues, but I wanted to provide a quick update on OrbiOS 2.1. We usually wait to release our software until it's available across all Orbi product lines, but ...
After updating FW, did you factory reset both router and satellite and set up from scratch? This is needed for this beta version of fw.
How far appart is the router from the satellites?
How big is your home? SQFt?
Try disabling MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast roaming and IPv6.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem?

Also, was unable to do speedtest from the app or from the router web access. I haven't turned anything off or messed with anything, just looks like the satellites are dropping, or maybe the main router. Either way, i normally get a 250Mbps speed test, but it was down to less than 1Mbps and after updating to 2.1.3.4 I can get it up to 25Mbps... but still not 100%. Thoughts?
That was it! Thanks a ton. I didn't do a factory reset after updating. All good now!
I should be more clear...all I did was the factory reset. I didn't turn anything off.
I did enable circle and now it seems that I have to setup a new instance since I don't know how ot move the profile...
Yes, you'll probably have to set that up again. I don't know if you can move profiles. Something you might contact NG support and ask about. I don't use Circle.

checked to make sure, thought it was enabled, but it wasn't.
I enabled Disney Circle and my existing setup from my app was remembered.
Awesome! so far, so good with 2.1.3.4
