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).
The linksys system will leave you disheartened. The Eero actually works as long as your willing to accept no wifi if your isp goes down. Not good in a smart home with 30+ devices counting on wifi for control but Eero coverage is stable and ubiquitous. If you have the luxury of waiting another week I would sit tight or add a R6900 to the mix for the clients that drop. I've tried them all and unless you need two hops for coverage nothing beats the Orbi ( other than orbi sucks at the moment) I would not return yet unless you nearing the end of your return policy
Granted I bought mine at Costco with the return for any reason policy. I just piggybacked an R6900 onto the Orbi router for the problematic clients. I'm holding out hope they get this sorted
