Looking for a select group of Orbi Community members that are interested in beta testing firmware
Greetings Orbi Community,
We are looking for a select group of Orbi Community members that are interested in beta testing current and upcoming Orbi firmware to help broaden our scope of use cas...
Everything is at 2.2.1.210 with the outdoor at 2.2.1.204.
just tried changing to ap mode then reset router to factory and switched my xfinity router back to bridge mode. All fresh settings and wireless drops often. Tried everything since purchase last winter but nothing seems to work. Tempted to go back to my old access points and extenders. Any hope? I see I’m not the only one with the same problems.
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually.

Might try a full FW manual load as well as a last resort:
