My wife and I both have Samsung S6. Recently received an update to the phone and afterwards it no longer stays connected to Orbi. My Orbi is on version 2.0.0.74. I tried rolling back to 1.11.0.20 ...
Thanks for pointing out the Telnet solution.
One of the main benefits of Mesh networking is not having different bands and/or SSID's, however in this case it might be better to have an easy way to do it. Hopefully either Netgear will make a workaround, Samsung fixes the problem or it's only limited to older products and will phases itself out. It would also be nice to be able to limit a device by either name or MAC to only one band by the menu. If netgear wanted they could make it easy to select a device and limited it to certain satellites, bands, day/times, usage, etc but i wouldn't hold my breath.
Bolingde, thanks for pointing out the meaning of Mesh networking. I totally agree with you that this should not be the way Orbi system should work. MAC address idea was very good indeed. But when all deviced are not working togther then luckily we have at least some workarounds in our hands.
And to other guys. Even if you hide the 5G SSID it would not work. At least for me it didn't. It's still the same SSID for both 2.4G and 5G and my devices choosed 5G still.
And yes, Galaxy S6 needs to be connected to 2.4G network.
