Intermittent internet connectivity outage with Orbi?
I just installed my new Orbi router yesterday, replacing a Nighthawk R8500. I believe that overall wireless coverage has improved, though top-end performance is not quite as high (measured via fast....
I read in the other "Ring Door Bell" thread that a customer had better results after disabling "Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING". So I tried that just to see what happens. It's probably too early to tell yet, but my 2 Nest cameras have only disconnected once in the past 2 days and I think that's because there was a power outage at my house today (I wasn't home and both cameras went out at the same time, something the intermittent outages haven't done).
So noticed something interesting in the (Attached devices). Item #3 (Router) which is a Nest-Cam is also showing the same ip address as item #1 (Satellite) and the same mac as item #2 (Satellite).

sounds like the nest cam is jumping between the sat and router and is why you are seeing it on both which isnt umcommen as they dont forget clients the moment they disconnect , however new firmware should fix the lists
I am about ready to return my unit too. Sitting in the room today with the Satelite where my XBox One is connected. Watching a movie and everything just stops working.
The XBox and my iPhone show connectivity to the router but no data. I log onto the admin panel to check connectivity status from the router to the satelite and it has disconnected. Had to do another full restart of the satelite to get it back up and running.
The only good thing is I disabled the beamforming option and my Nest Cams are no longer disconnecting, just keep attaching to the router that is the furtest away.
I really wish this solution would have worked for me, but it seems more like a beta test.
