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).
Just received today. Installed latest firmware and all of my Nest cams were dropping. Totally unsat! How can you not test your router with the Nest cams? Shame on Netgear!! I am returning this and will get Eero or Google.
I am thinking about going with Amplifi.
Hi everyone. Sorry to see there is still so much frustration out there. I eventually found a temporary solution to my problem. Not ideal, but giving me the best of both worlds. I have a Synology router that I installed as router. It has excellent software and capabilities with an excellent mobile app. It's WiFi is not good, especially 5GHz. I set the Orbi up in AP mode and now I have great coverage and the functionality of the Synology! I have'nt had any issues yet. I hope this might help some of you until Netgear gets something better going.
