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).
What can we do if we are past the return period and are getting nowhere with support?
Buy a R6900 till they sort this out...
While we wait for Netgear to sort this out I have put my backup router into service.
Below is the signal graph for the Orbi RBR/S50 (L8-Holyoke) and the R6900 (TwoAchers) behind it.
wchp, I can't see your image for some reason but I am very curious. Unfortunately I'm not going to buy anything Netgear again until they prove they can sort this out. My previous Asus AC87U works great, it just couldn't cover the whole house at full speed.
I would never buy another Netgear product either. They need new management. Their reputation is going to pot with these constant excuses for their buggy hardware. Why can't they get this fixed? Are they too greedy to hire competent engineers? They must have their heads in the sand if they don't recognize the damage they are causing their company.
