Major Failures After Firmware 2.0.0.74 Upgrade!
ORBI firmware version 2.0.0.74 is failing! I have used the ORBI RBK50 system since Apr 2017. While running the 1.xx.xx firmware, the conection was incredibly reliable & fast. I had max speeds fro...
This was fixed eventually. Everything was working fine until the V2.1.4.10 update: now AirPrint isn't working. It would be nice if Netgear could perform some quality control.
The story so far:
- 1.12.0.18: Months of fast, reliable performance.
- Installed 2.0.0.74 on Oct 1st: repeated, consistant connection failures start.
- No improvement after trying various combinations of:
- Factory reset all units
- Reload firmware
- Daisy-chain on/off
- Regenerate backhaul password
- UPnP on/off
- Beamforming on/off
- MU-MIMO on/off
- 2 Satellites
- 1 Satellite
- Router only
- I even tried (unsuccessfully) to roll back to the prior firmware version. The router updated, but the satellites refused the old firmware.
- Persistent disconnects continue with 2.0.0.74.
NETGEAR needs to fix 2.0.0.74 ASAP!
NETGEAR, please acknowledge this problem and at least tell your users that a solution is being worked on!
After the 2.0.0.74 firmware update my system with (1) satellite was very stable until yesterday. Then I lost the connection to the satellite. Nothing worked: factory reset router and sat.
Now I am back to this fourm to see others are also having issues.
Wow, this has been a rocky road since last December when I purchased this thing. Life is too short to waste my time changing settings, but unfortunately I did not buy this at Costco, so I am stuck like the rest of you.
Right now I'm going to turn off the UPnP and see how that goes. Fingers crossed!
