Issue with my Orbi Satellite
So wondering if someone can help me on this. My orbi satellite has been acting up recently not broadcasting wifi. Before I get into it, I have power cycled the router, the satellite, the router and...
Updated to Firmware 1.12.0.18
- Disabled the WiFi radios on Satellite. (WTF, seriously NetGear?)
Fix:
1. Manually uploaded previous Firmware 1.11.0.20 **Satellite Version, This is IMPORTANT** to Satelite manually via ip address (of your Satellite) in Web Address.
2. Manually uploaded Firmware 1.11.20 **Router Version, This is IMPORTANT** via web-portal.
-- This worked for me. Not sure if it will for you. Just sharing. Good luck.
Thanks Ucchi - that has stopped me returning the Orbi.
Netgear - Seriously concerned this made it through QA.
It has been a month, 6 downgrades to the firmware that works and 6 forced auto updates to the broken firware. This is so ridiculous and I regret every dollar spend on this subpar product.
