1.11.0.8 needs to be released now

The beta firmware is running extremely well compared to 1.11.0.20, this will fix a lot of people complaining about drops. I was experiencing constant drops, but once I updated to this firmware it's 100% better.

  • I would be curious to know if you have Beamforming and MU-MIMO enabled. Thanks

        Wondering if we will ever be allowed to use the Beamforming and MUMIMO features again ever? paid $500 so far got about half value..  Patience is running out paid full got a half cooked meal in return...sill hopeful though atleast Beta is being tested in earnest!

  • Thank you. I had asked as I loaded the beta firmware yesterday. Being hopeful, at the same time I enabled Beamforming and MU-MIMO. This combination unfortunately introduced additional issues that I had never previously experienced. Due to this, last night I turned them both off again and will monitor the results. I feel that until these features can be enabled with stable results for all, connection issues can not be considered resolved. Thanks.
  • This causes me to have nosebleed, the fact that they have a firmware that will fix many people's problem, & they still keeping it in beta. Many people are returning their system because they have some many connection problems. I was about to return mines, until they sent me the beta update, & it works. Why continue losing customers, when you can just fix the problem.

      EXACTLY.  I'm experiencing huge fluctuations / drops - I would love to get this fixed (and sadly I'm past my return date so I'm stuck with Orbi).  

  • I have drops and fluctuating speed issues. Did the beta fix that? I used to get dropped a lot now I just have unreliable speed and I know for certain it is not my ISP. My wifi speed test results will go come 180 down to 5 down and everything invetween in the matter of seconds, it's truly bizarre.
