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).
Yea, no fix and every eta was never right. Been waiting since December. I have up and went eero.
You should never depend on an ETA or promise (engineering has great difficulty predicting the future). If the product doesn't meet your needs as-is, don't buy it or return it. If you must have Nest cameras and implicit beamforming then don't get the Orbi.
For me, the OP, I disabled implicit beamforming and this completely eliminated my Nest camera disconnects. I've had zero disconnects since Nov and don't have any wireless connectivity or speed issues with my Orbi with implicit beamforming disabled.
