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 everybody opened a ticket with Netgear? I did and they asked me a couple of questions over email.
They followed up with a phone call. They said there will be a firmware update this month and they hope it will fix this issue.
Fingers crossed.

I had a ticket open for the last three weeks I think. It ended with something to the effect of, "above tier 2 has analyzed it and hopes the next firmware release will help" and "turn off beamforming and tell us if that seems to make any difference" I turned off beamforming, but still have a ton of quick disconnects and reconnects. Overall, it still works very well, just not the most reliable for most devices. Big problem is one of those devices is the laptop my wife programs on and no matter where she uses it (same room as router, or same room as satellite), she gets the most noticeble disconnects and reconnects many times a day.
