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).
Beam forming definitely caused my issues on 1.8.0.6.
All better now. Haven't tried upgrading to 1.9 yet.

Hrm. Beam forming still causes issues in 1.9.12 for me.

DarrenM,
I am a new Orbi owner, and am having the connectivity issues with my 4 NestCam's when beamforming is turned on. I'd be happy to test the BETA firmware for you.
Thanks,
Stephen

DarrenM, Sent you a PM for the beta firmware. How long til I hear? This dropping issue is driving me nuts.
This latest beta firmware was a pain to update too, but has been outstanding in terms of performance and connectivity. I’ve had nest cameras connected with all advanced features on and had 0 drops in over a week.
