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).
works here mate . have the best wifi i have ever had and the whole family is happy with it , it is a possibility you have a faulty unit
I have several nest cams that are constantly loosing connection with my Orbi. Once I disabled beam forming, I have not had a single disconnect. Netgear needs to address this pronto. Where is the next firmware update already.

the issue isnt netgear , its the devices not working well with beam forming
I have been using my Nest Cam's with other routers like the Airport Extreme which implement beamforming with no problem. When I switched to Orbi I had to disable the feature because it is causing problems. I don't think the issue is the Nest Cam (one of the most popular web cams.) This would have been a very public out cry from customers and you'd see comments all over the internet. Clearly, this is the case of a router that has not implemented beamforming very well. The fact that no staff from Netgear are commenting on this issue is upsetting.

the extreme only has explicit beamforming so is not effected , implicit effects non mimo clients
yes again because its not enabled on apple routers
again its not the router as such , its the fact imnplicit beamforming is not used in many routers so far
you need to understand the difference between implicit and explicit beamforming
