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.

Haven't noticed any issues. Seems to switch just fine depending which one has the stronger signal. I do notice they aren't as strong as the Orbi, but you get three so that fixes that issue. Speeds are great on all of them as well. I couldn't tell it to use 192.168.1.XXX network, so it had to use 192.168.7.XXX and I had to change a couple of my devices and reboot some others for them to start working again. So far, no drops at all.
