Hello Everyone
We are aware of the issues with android and IOS devices and our engineers are working to fix these disconnect issues. I do not have a ETA on a fix or firmware release but as soon as I hear one I will post it.

Very glad to hear that. I hope soon as I was about to purchase another brand of mesh wifi system.

Any word on when this might be fixed? I just purchased a router/satellite set, and on v1.5.0.12 I'm having this issue.

New Firmware has not addressed any of these will there be a separate Firmware release to address random and frequent WIFI drops, speed inconsistencies, iOS device instability, DynDNS bug, WAN port showing down in AP mode, Access control page show devices blocked etc..

Netgear has aknowledged an issue with Samsung Galaxy S7 phones, but has no fix for it. :(

I have given Netgear long enough to fix these issues. 3-4 months. And still no fix. Working with their support, it is a waste of time now. I have packed my units up and going to Best Buy in hopes they give me credit since it was purchased in October, and I pick up the Eero mesh system as that has dropped to $399 now. I need reliability and Orbi does not have it.
