Android 8 Crashes Orbi
I've been tracking down an issue where my Orbi just suddenly drops wifi and reboots. I've isolated it to be associated with an Android device running 8.0 or higher. And I've proven it turning off w...
Same issues. It started for me using the latest 2.1.1.16 version
It happens once a day now, it also happens exactly at 9am my time. There is no schedules shutdown or anything (Netgear has no option for this anywhere on the Orbi).
The devices connected are:
2 TVs (Samsung 8500 4K and Samsung 32' 720p TV both using a Chromecast 4K)
2 PCs (One laptop, one desktop)
2 Samsung 7
1 Samsung 8s
1 Samsung 5
1 Samsung 4
(Seeing this list looks like am a fan of samsung, never noticed that)
Since I work entirely from the internet, this happening to me it's a big problem. What other options are out there compared to Orbi?
After having an Orbi for 3 days and it rebooting every 15 min (upgrading to the latest firmware made it worse) I returned my Orbi and got a Linksys Velop. Network has been rock solid for several days now.
- I replaced my Orbi with Eero. It's been rock solid for several weeks now. Not one single issue.
