Do not upgrade to 2.1.1.12
I had a call with support today regarding frequent disconnections (every 15 or so minutes) on my Orbi. It was running 2.0.0.74 firmware at the start of the call. The support agent made me manually "u...
Can't you downgrade the firmware back to the previous versions? I have searched and there are some references to people downgrading back in v1 but I can't find anyone confirming v2.
Let me know
Does anyone has experience on going back to v1 from v2 firmware? I was running 2.0.0.76, upgraded to 2.1 and had tons of issues. Reverted back to 2.0.0.76 (it still disconnects like before, but not as frequent like 2.1).
If it's possible to go back to v1, which version is the most stable one? I remember when I first bought the Orbi, everything was working flawnessly until it started to auto upgrade to a newer version, things start to break. Ever since, I've been spending time troubleshooting and upgrading/downgrading.
When can Netgear get it straighten out? Like most people here I'm stuck with the hardware because I can no longer return it. I had to recommend my brother to buy a Linksys Velop instead (which he told me it's been working nicely for him so far) since I can no longer recommend a router with broken software and tones of issues to anyone anymore.
