Just wanted to post a PSA that the latest Netgear firmware for the Orbi mess wifi system has issues with some 2.4ghz HomeKit devices.

Their forums are full of users having issues.

I was having problems with a handful of devices and rolling back to the previous firmware resolved my issues.

Do you know what firmware version? I updated maybe four or five months ago but not since then.
