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 this issue as well. One additional reason I wonder about the problem in my case is the wifi signal strength. Using the orbi app on my iphone I see just one bar of signal strength. I have a satellite orbi within 15-20 feet of the nest cam. The nest cam is outside the front door and is housed in a 3rd party shell for outdoor use.
I also have an apple tv in another room where an additional satellite is within 15 feet of the apple tv with no obstructions. This shows 2 bars on the wifi signal in the Orbi app.
Could these drops have anything to do with the backhaul connection constantly dropping from the router to the satellite? I am seeing this about every 10 seconds and sometimes it is so fast that it doesnt matter but other times all devices drop. Does anyone else have these type of results if you watch the signals on Wi-Fi Analyzer or some other method?
Beta firmware solved my problem with WAN disconnects (not a single disconnect in 4 days of testing) but after updating to the latest release that came out today (V1.10.1.2), my issues came back again. Close but no cigar.
Hello Fstockel
Check your support case the firmware that just came out did not have the fixes that are in the beta firmware that will release later.
