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...
I really wonder about the legitimacy of the Amazon reviews for the Orbi. I am sure sure plenty of the positive reviews are genuine because it seems like an excellent product at first when most people,write their reviews. For what it's worth, Fakespot.com gives the review quality a D due to automated reviewer accounts and reviewers giving 5 star reviews to multiple Netgear products in the same category. It just seems like discussions on forums all over the internet have a very different tone than the amazon reviews and other sites that have reviewed the product. Unrelated to Orbi, I hate that fake reviews are becoming such a thing these days which only hurts the consumer.
I've got over 90 devices, works fine 100% solid for all but one of my devices, which as of the last firmware is getting better.

Does that mean that you can confirm that no Android phones in general, and no Android 7 specifically have dropouts with 89 of your 90 devices?
Are all these devices in different buildings in pairs? Or in a bigger building working together?
"I've got over 90 devices, works fine 100% solid for all but one of my devices, which as of the last firmware is getting better." Amazing. I have 1 and it doesn't work at all. Galaxy S8+. As I said in an earlier thread, I origionally blamed Samsung and had them return my phone. Same problem with a factory fresh new phone too.
I have the same result...the only device that has issues is the S8+ and only on the Orbi. The iPhones and Windows Phones, roku's, tv's, laptops, iPads, are all great. I have noticed the connect speeds on the s8 is only 5-7 mbps while every other device is over 500mbps. However I also run a meraki for work and the s8+ connects at awesome stable speeds in the 780mbps. I also replaced the device once since this was the only device with an issue. I still think the issue is in how the android os handles the mesh or fails to handle the mesh as developed by net gear. Does anyone know what type of feedback Samsung is getting for this issue and has anyone tried going that route...to net gear, have you been able to replicate the issue internally?
