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...
My router has been running for 17 days now without a single reboot. Speed is very good too running in AP mode.
I did the upgrade to 2.1.2.18 and thereafter had several disconnects and random issues. I figured out that it was the wall plug satellite (RBW30 running 2.1.2.2) causing the issues. Did a reset on it, setit up again, and since then everything is awesome with no issues at all! Great speeds and very stable! IIf having issues Isuggest maybe resetting the whole system after upgrade and try again.
My RBK53 has been running 25 days now, couldn’t be more pleased with the reliability, range and speed.
I had the same problem with frequent drops. I have the new firmware (2.1.2.18). I actually had Netgear replace a router and 2 of my three satellites last month, to no avail. I have replaced my cable modem 3 times in case that was the cause of the problem. I am so frustrated with NG. I tried to ask them to return the system but they told me that is not their policy. I have been on the phone with tech support at the highest levels and all I get is the system to work for a few days before it starts dropping. It always starts slowly, then builds up to drops every 5 minutes. My family is furious, and I work from home and cannot get work done. I actually had to go buy a verizion ellipsis to get a 'backup' network connection for when the Orbi is down. Yesterday, I rebooted the router and there were less drops, but still happening. I am so tired of this and so tired of not getting the fix from Netgear. I have spent over 500.00 on this system. Netgear customer support, if you are listening, please, please please help us.
