Apple TV dropping network with ORBI53
I purcheased the ORBI53 about a month ago and everything has worked well until yesterday. The network is dropping IOS devices, especially 2-4th Gen Apple TVs with up to date softeware. Any suggestion...
This has me PULLING MY HAIR OUT! In the last week or two, I've noticed the apple devices in my bedroom area of my house have basically stopped working. The AppleTV (most recent gen before the release of the new one) is now pretty much worthless... which is crazy b/c I've been using it for 8 or 9 months now and have never had an issue. My AppleTV was connected with 5 bars of strength and it couldn't even load Hulu or Playstation Vue... just timed out. I did a speedtest on my Lenovo T470 and I got 130Mbps down and 76Mbps up in my bedroom.
No clue what has happened recently but it's insanely frustrating. Many reboots of the Orbis and Apple TV with no fix.
Hi, I had the same issue for months with the Orbi - went through various methods and beta firmware as well. In the end it was the latest firmware V2.0.0.74 on my RBR50 and RBS50 that resolved the issue. Although it created other issues in terms of connection between the RBR50 and RBS50 which in my home meant that I needed an additional satellite.
Interesting... I'm on that firmware as well and it just started acting up recently. I'm in a 3 story townhome so I just ordered another RBS50 to put on the other side of my townhouse directly underneath my bedroom to see if that fixes the problem (both router & satellite will be on the floor - floor #2) Fingers crossed. I have my other satellite downstairs in the walkout basement so my back yard area has coverage.
