thanks for those links on flashing. i tried the 30-30-30 many times and even 60-60-60. lol no change. sigh...
i may be mistaken on the orbi ssid i saw. it popped up again last night but i think it's a far away neighbor because it doesn't show itself. i just noticed it having the available wifi's on another screen.
