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).
Have yoou considered connecting the Wink hub via ethernet to either the router or satellite? Just a thought, I'm having the same issue and just happened to think of it, haven't tried it yet, have to move stuff around to do it.
I currently won't use Wink Hub2 with Ethernet. There is an odd bug in the firmware where if the Internet (WAN/ISP) goes down and Wink is connected by ethernet it is not able to use local control of lighting. If it is connected to WiFi it will use local control. This may have been fixed in this past week's firmware update but they don't publish a list of fixes.
Regardless... just using the Wink as the test client because it 1) is temperamental with wifi 2) has big blue flashing light I can see from across the house indicating connection status
