Known Issues:
-
After updating router firmware, existing clients can be steered to the router because the wireless readiness in the router is faster than the wireless readiness in the satellite. Workaround: Connected clients might notice slower throughput or a weaker signal, which resolves when the user roams or reconnects.
-
When link aggregation applies on WAN ports, removing the cable from one of the ports disconnects Internet access. Workaround: Keep two cables on aggregated WAN ports.
-
WPA3-Enterprise might not work with iPhone 11 (supports 802.11ax) and above with iOS 14 and above.
Workaround: Do not use WPA3-Enterprise. -
The local GUI can be only accessed via default VLAN network. Workaround: Connect to a wireless network that uses default VLAN profile to access local GUI.

Firmware Update Instructions:
If the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 is connected to the Insight cloud, perform a firmware update through the firmware schedule policy, or manually perform a firmware update using the Insight app or local browser interface.
To update the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 firmware from the local browser interface, follow the instructions in your product’s user manual. To find your user manual, visit https://www.netgear.com/support/, enter your model number in the search box, and click Documentation on the product page. We highly recommend updating the satellite firmware first, and then updating the router firmware.
After updating to the latest firmware, make sure to update your version of the NETGEAR Insight app for the best functionality and user experience.
