OrbiOS 2.1.4.10 kills Internet access if you use Ethernet back haul
I'd been happily using the RBK50 Orbi AC3000 single satellite system since June of 2017 and started using ethernet back haul succesfully around October 2017. Typically 8-16 connections at any given ...
I updated my firmware to 2.2.1.210 today and it solved the ethernet back haul taking the internet connection down and eliminated a couple of other oddities that I was experiencing.
Blocking ports, not opening. Seems the others have said the blocking these ports directed to the routers IP address seems to stop the auto update.

Thanks, the suggestion to disable the daisy chain made the wired backhaul work. So did of course not using wired backhaul and instead falling back to wireless (which I didn't want long term).
In what way would an open port on 443 and/or 20-21 be needed? And if so, why is that something that an end user would have to know/do, backhaul configuration should (IMHO) be something that works without user intervention. Not sure I see a place where backhaul internals are exposed... or are you saying that regular wireless connectivity is affected/affecting backhaul?
Thanks,
Sven
Ah... that was for auto update... sorry, didn't get that :-). Didn't read the full thread. Thanks for the suggestions, that feels too hacky for me, but I can see how that might help. This is more a "hey Netgear... please improve the user experience!" :-).
Is a suggestion only.
Good luck.
