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...
2.1.1.16 was working well for several weeks, with known cosmetic issues.
2.1.2.18 was installed using the Update All button without any issues.
All has been well in Orbi land for the last couple of days.
I know it's not critical, but I do enjoy seeing which Orbi each device is connected to. Just wish we could sort the list of devices as we can in the Orbi app.
Two floors x 1200 square foot house. Orbi at opposite corners of house, one on each floor.
Devices: Windows 7, Android, Roku, WDTV, Samsung Smart TV.
Getting constant network loss. Now I also lose my Lan connection as well as WIFI. Guess I am rolling back to 2.0.0.74. Getting close to bagging this Router. It's just way to unstable.
Despite having gone through the telnet autoupdate-disable instructions carefully back on 2.0.0.76 a while back, my router and satellite auto-updated overnight to 2.1.2.18. My LG TV did not connect on power-on this morning, which I saw happen often on 2.1.2.10 as well. Never that problem with 2.0.x.
Will be testing for the apparent packet loss issue I've had previously with 2.1.x later today.
I really hate that I can't reliably control if the box updates. I really want to like this, but a device that refuses any role for the user to manage the device realy doesn't have a place in my home...
