Android devices keep getting thrown off the Orbi WiFi
(This was also an issue before the latest firmware) Our Android devices (tablets and phones) keep experincing the same issue. They are all sporadically thrown off WiFi and re-connected again a fe...
My android devices and Sony Xperia z4 tablet and phones also experience random WiFi drops frequently, have tried factory resets many times, different channels disabled beamforming nothing works this issue was a lot less frequent on old 16 Firmware with the 18 Firmware it happens constantly
I ran into the same issue holding a connection for a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. I opened the orbilogin.com site on my desktop when I tried to connect the tab3 and noticed that the ip addresses did not match. The orbi assigned 192.168.1.5 but the tab noted the address of 192.168.1.125. I went into the tab3 advanced setup under the orbi connection and changed the dhcp setting to manual and entered the 192.168.1.5 with the other settings left alone.
Once I restarted the tab it connected quickly and so far seems to be working. I know its not the perfect solution, but it'll work while you're in your home.
Good luck.
My S7 Edge is constanly about every 5 seconds losing the wifi then it connects again.
This is really odd.
I am also running the latest firmware V1.4.0.18 (updated the satellite first and then the base) and both of my Android devices (S7 Edge and Galaxy Tab S2) have no issues.
Do you still have wifi enabled on the router to which the Orbi is attached? Have you tried linking your devices to that wifi?
What is the IP address range of the existing router and is it different from the IP address range of the Orbi?
As mentioned before, the IP address range of devices attached to my AT&T gateway are in the range 192.168 and the Orbi 10.0.
After attaching the Orbi to my AT&T gateway I then restarted the gateway, Orbi then automatically assigned the 10.0 range to the Orbi.
