Wow!!! Orbi Firmware V2.0.0.72 Released
Just logged into my router and it gave me the option to upgrade the firmware.
Have now Upgraded to V2.0.0.72
Haven’t had too much time to explore but early indications are WOW !!!
...
RBR50 + RBS50 + RBS40. So far no wifi disconnection (happened daily before firmware update). (1) The satellites are now daisy-chained and it seems the wifi speed has actually picked up a bit based on five speed tests sampled different time (2) faster access to router's pages using Safari.
So far so good.
Even after the new firmware update v2.0.0.72 we still have multiple disconnects each day. It's so frustrating I wish I never bought this system. My father in law has it and he never has disconnects.

I’ll ask the usual question...what have you done to troubleshoot so far? The first thing that I would suggest, given the severity of your problems, is to reset the router and all your satellites to factory defaults via their respective reset buttons, and go through the ground up configuration process, manually entering your settings.
i hope that after that things would be a lot better. This has helped me once or twice, so I can recommend it.
edited*** my issue was a driver issue on my computer. I have the intel ac 8265 card and i have to keep the drivers rolled back. if it updates then it slows my connection
Mine are still at 1.12.0.18 ... I have the download files, but would rather let them take the FW automatically. Advananced --> Admin --> FW update still shows No new firmware version available for RBR50 and RBS50's. Wonder how long it will take for the FW to be available for my units.
