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).

i too have been pulling my hair out with my nest products and the orbi. I was going to get google wi-fi but they were sold out and i started reading reviews with the orbi and it seemed to have better peformance. I was using my wifi on my arris modem before. I have bridged it and setup the orbi and 1 satellite. It worked fine with everything for about 4 days with no disconnects, no issues.. Then the disconnects started happening with my nest cams (3 indoor, 2 outdoor ) on a 35/5 cable connection. I have updated the firmware to the latest V1.4.0.18. Still happening dozens of times per day. I have chatted for hours with nest support and they are replacing all 3 of my indoor cams to see if it will fix the issue as they said 1 of them was overheating. I saw this forum and have just disabled beam forming, so hopefully that is a workaround for me. At least I am getting newer nest indoor cams out of it. But i want all the features of this 400$ system to work! Thats why i paid for it. I have until 12/20 to return the orbi so I will test for a day or two and see if it makes a difference with the nest cams.NETGEAR get on the ball and fix this issue! You should play nice with one of the best camera systems out there as it is a wifi product!

I am having the same issue as well. Is there any updates on this?
