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...
wrote:Thanks OrbiJ. Carefully optimistic that this (deactivating daisy chaning) helped me too. Since the update I had multiple RBR reboots every day, disconnecting my devices. Since unchecking the daisy chain option it has not rebooted.
(RBR50 with two RBS50, all on 2.1.2.18)
i have daisy .. enabled.
No issue.
Similar experience here with Daisy Chain on 2.1.2.18. When I have it enabled, frequent 'no internet connection' issues with satellites when using an iPad. Since I disabled it, so far so good...
Well I've been bumped to L3 support and given a special debug version of the current firmware to install and grab more logs. Hopefully this will help track down the random reboots some of us have...
How long for a Chromecast/Android fix Netgear?.. Netgear still needs to come up with a fix for their end... TP-Link, Linksys, and others have done it already... and I have all my CAST devices unplugged, and uninstalled Google Home app from my phone and I am still having issues with the Orbi, so Netgear has another issue to address also... does Netgear even care?
Fully agree that Netgear needs to address some stability and connectivity issues outside of the Chromecasr/Android bug.
- Wired backhaul is not stable and just connecting statalite to wired connection causes the Router to reboot (should be easy enough for netgear to reproduce)
- Devices randomaly disconnect and reconnect to wifi (all while stationany and with good wifi signal)
- Ping times to the router can go flactuate anywhere from 5-9ms to 20-50ms to 500+ms
P.S. Lot more stable then previous 2.1x release and beta, but not quite upto stability of even a $100 router.
