Announcing availability of OrbiOS 2.1
I posted this on a different thread, but copy & pasting it here for more visibility. Let me give you a quick update on where NETGEAR is with the OrbiOS. Just before Christmas break, we paus...
I'm actually wondering what is considered to be 'high' CPU usage? My router is somewhere between 2% and 7% which given the load looks totally fine to me. The sat is hovering between 15% and 33% with only a printer attached that is actually in sleep mode and a good backhaul connection. Are those normal percentages? I not worried at all - my Orbi system has been running fine since I first got it roughly a year ago - but am just curious.
Just checked my system. The router CPU is 7% and the satellite is 11%. The system has been up for 2 days and 12 hours ever since I updated to .18 and appears to be rock solid. I am running the Orbi in AP mode and have a mixed environment of apple, Samsung, google Chromecast, Nest, Sonos and echo dots.
whilst I recognise that some people are clearly having difficulties, my system has worked perfectly now for months and I’m actually impressed so far with Netgear’s responsiveness both on here and with regular updates.
As as I would like another system for my parents, I have been checking eBay but no sign of a mass exodus so my conclusion is that the problems reflected here are not as widespread as reading the posts might imply; of course doesn’t make it any less frustrating for those who are having difficulties.
