OrbiOS 2.1.4 availability
A quick update. We're about to release an updated version of OrbiOS 2.1.4 in the next few days through our auto-update mechanism for all Orbi models. When it goes live, you should see a prompt in t...
I have the same situation and I noticed the daisy chaining network is enabled by default with the new firmware update. I disabled the function since my satallite is having poor signal and the connection through wire was the only solution. however, I rebooted only the RBR50 router and did not rebooted my two stallites RBS50.
I hope after the reboot it will be fixed.
Thank you for the hint. I will update you after a little while.
Update......
system was working fine for a few days (no daisy chain, not ethernet) until yesterday
router on 2.1.4.10
rbs50 on 2.1.4.10
rbs50 on 2.1.4.10
rbs50y was on 2.1.2.20 until yesterday, then updated to 2.1.3.4 (this is where the problems began)
After the rbs50y upgrading to 2.1.3.4, we had trouble loading certain websites. After disconnecting all satellites, and only using the router, the problem persisted. Come to find out disney circle started to become a problem, after the firmware upgrade on a satellite. Even after I unplugged all satellites.
Looking into the circle filtering, nothing is being filtered, I even set all users so that all websites are allowed, I still could not load some websites. The status bar in safari would just hang. Circle said we accessed the problematic websites with not problem filtering, yet the site would not load.
When I disabled circle, all websites loaded no problem. I reset circle and set it up again, and same problem.
for some reason, the new versions of firmware, 2.1.4.1 is now triggering problems with Disney circle.
NETGEAR, ALLOW US TO DOWNGRADE TO A STABLE FIRMWARE WITH NO AUTO UPDATES.
YOU ARE MAKING A FOOLISH BUSINESS DECISION. THIS WILL PROVE TO BE A LIABILITY FOR SOMEBODY ON YOUR STAFF.
Considering Netgear themselves recommend having router and satellite on the same version of firmware, is there any reason why they've auto updated my RBR40, but then there's no auto update for my RBW30 meaning they are now on different firmware versions which apparently according to Netgear, isn't recommended?
They probably haven't had a change to get all product lines up to the same level as of yet.
Latest version for the RBW30 is here:

Can be manually downloaded and manually installed if needed.

- I tried my RBR50 on latest firmware 2.1.4.x and the RBW30’s on 2.1.3.6 and it didn’t like it at all so switched them off until a new firmware was available but then gave up completely and purchased Google Wifi, only 2 days in and already notice more stability and a better system. Naturally need to give it more time before fully committing but considering the 16 months of pain with Netgear even having 2 days of hassle free WiFi across all my mix of devices has been awesome.
