Continual internet/satellite/router disconnect
Has everyone given up on orbi? I have TWo rbk50 sets and they both give me disconnect issues. Slow connectivity and basically useless. Worse then my single router previously. They are in Totally diff...
May I ask what router you are using in this configuration? I've read similar problems with both Orbi and the CM1000 router. I've been wondering if many of the people with these problems are using them both together. Also, did you leave your original modem in place and put the Orbi router in WAP mode? Thanks and good luck.
One is in ap mode the other is in router mode. I believe the router mode one is still on the latest v1.12 firmware.
I use router mode with the latest v2.0.xx firmware which you can download from here :

It fixed many users issues with stability so certainly worth a shot.
- I also meant to ask, did you ensure wireless was turned off on the original cable modem? Sometimes the dual signal can cause issues.
Yes. For the AP mode, there are no other wireless router switched on other then my neighbours....
