beta firmware v1.11.0.8

Have had the Beta v1.11.0.8 installed for nearly a week and massive improvements to how my wifi is now performing. In particuar for the first time since purchase i can now have beam forming turned on without any of my nest cameras dropping. Also i havent had any IOS disconnections since.

 

Am happy finally that we seem to be moving in the right direction in getting the Ortbi system running to its potential

    Send me a Pm with your name, email, and phone number and our support team will contact you with the beta firmware. Also can you tell me what devices you are seeing disconnects on? This beta is only for RBK50 units.

      I hope the beta firmware fixes the disconnect issues.

        Well, after a few days I can say that the ios disconnects have stopped.

         

        However, my android phone has started getting disconnects again. So it's better but it still hasn't fixed everything.

    Same here.

     

    No more disconnects on my android and ios devices. I also have mimo and beam forming turned back on and it's great.

     

    Wil be sticking with this until it's incorporated into a non beta release.
