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 have the base router and satelite in a 2 storey house seperated by a brick wall. I chose Orbi because the marketing says you can get a strong signal even beyond a brick wall. I'm not sure if that is related but I have had very intermittent and poor connectivity with wifi all week, and I rely on wifi for work.
I've since repositioned the satelite to a different location (as close to the wall of the first building as possible, and added back the extenders I had to the second building. The wifi is now acceptable, but I would like to get a stable and reliable connection so I can permanently put my wifi behind me. I feel spending $500 on these devices should not have already caused such concern.
If there is a setting, or any other suggestion someone can offer me to help resolve this issue I'd be more than pleased.
I bought an expensive and powerful wifi mesh system. I would like to have a powerful mesh wifi system that works.

I would also like to throw my hat in the ring and say my six nest cams now drop frequently after i installed my Orbi Router and three satalites.

nest cams are a known issue that netgear is working on along with apple devices
And Android devices.

For now, just disable "implicit beamforming" and your Nest camera disconnects will go away.
