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).
Has this issue been addressed any further at Netgear? I am having these issues several tiems a day. I have not returned the unit yet hoping for a firmware update to fix it.
Basically I get my smart TV and all of my cell hpones in the household simply lose data at random. If I turn off the wifi on the device, or power cycle the device and reconnect it it works fine, however the data does break and the device has to be tinkered with. This does not happen when I hook my Asus router back up. It is very frustrating for a $400 device to jsut drop data like that, especially when there is growing competition in this area. Before I returned the device I was hoping there was a firmware update in the works and when could it be expected? Thanks.
