iPad drops wifi, solid connection on MacBook Pro
Trying to troubleshoot inconsistent connection for iPad. My MacBook Pro has no connection problems all over house, including on deck outside. I am not running any satelites yet, for financial reaso...
Sadly you are enjoying the Netgear Orbi experience with their Junkware problems. In another thread they stated 1.12.0.18 had a bug in it and you should roll back to 1.11.0.20. I just saw that they have released 1.12.0.20. You could go through the GUI to FW Updates and see selecting check for updates will go get the new FW, instead of waiting for it to Auto Upload. Or, if you want to try something fast and simple, change the 2.4Ghz channel to 9 or 11. Play around with it until you see if a new channel will stop the behavior. I have had to do that before and it worked, but only on 1.11.0.20. You will have to reboot the router to truly see if it makes a difference. Good luck.
- Yeah, thanks for the update.
It's pretty clear that the performance of this router was oversold.
My iPhone is now acting up too.
Haven't seen the update come through yet for me.
Guess I will try reboot and hard reset back to factory and purchase another satellite to be sure. If I see a dramatic difference, I will keep it.
If I don't, I guess I will return it and sell this unit.Keep in mind... not everyone has the same problems; not everyone even has problems. I have an orbi router plus one satellite and haven't had any issues past the first day on the current firmware. I have 2 MacBooks, 2 iPads, 2 iPhones, an AppleTV and a couple of other devices. Working great.
That's great news ArtLee!
How about you share some more information about your environment and configuration.
That would be helpful in understanding why everything is so peachy for you.
