If you are still having issues after updating your Orbi unit you may want to factory reset the Orbi and test again. If you are still having disconnect issues or other issues with this firmware please create a new thread or contact our support team.

Feb 15, 2017Where do you see the disconnects on iOS at?
- brasaxFeb 15, 2017Apprentice
In the router logs. But I also see it while surfing and watching videos or whatelse, becuase it switches to cellular network and needs up to 1 minute to reconnect. The most time if I'm at home and my device is in standby and pick it up, the iPhone is not connected to my wifi. This is not happening with the Fritzbox for example. It just stays connected to the wifi.
But I also send logs from iOS to Apple to investigate the issue too, installed a Wifi-debug profile for it.

Looks like in the logs, nothing actually says reconnected, but I do see my IOS devices and Android ones connecting often many times.
