Appreciate the update. Could you be a little more explicit on what Netgear is doing, from an engineering perspective, to resolve these issues? What issues specifically are you tracking and working, and actions being taken? Thanks.

Hi,
I am from France and have experienced firmware 2.1.x issues.
I have contacted support and they have sent me a new RBR50 (I should return my RBR50 within 7 days).
But now there is some news (this forum thread) about v2.1 Memory Leak and v2.0 downgrade, before returning my RBR50, I will try first to downgrade it to v2.0 and see if I can reproduce the behavior that made Orbi v2.1 crashing/rebooting/SSID disappearing.
If not, I would be fine to stick to v2.0 for a while, but I would be happy to help and install a v2.1 debug firmware on the '2nd RBR50' and make it crash to send you the logs, but I may need a time extension to keep it during the test, so I can switch from one RBR50 to the other one if I need stable connection during specific times without upgrading/downgrading/upgrading/downgrading/....
Please send me instruction to how to proceed (download RBR50 & RBS50 debug firmware v2.1) and how to send logs to who ?
Christophe.
