Nest camera drops still frequent on Orbi RB50 firmware v2.1.4.16
I have had my Orbi system for about 3 months, purchased from Costco in June. 1 day after installing the system, firmware was upgraded to v2.1.4.16. I have google fiber 1000 and enjoy the speed. Me o...
My Nest was frequently going offline. I changed my settings on my Orbi to match Kickworms settings and I have not had a drop in over a week. Seems resolved now. Here are the settings from Kickworms post:
- 20/40 MHz Coexistence is enabled (2.4GHz)
- WMM is enabled (both 2.4GHz and 5GHz)
- CTS/RTS Threshold is 2347 (both 2.4GHz and 5GHz)
- Preamble Mode is Automatic (both 2.4GHz and 5GHz)
- Transmit Power is 100% (both 2.4GHz and 5GHz)
- Daisy-Chain Topology is DISABLED
- Beamforming is enabled
- MU-MIMO is enabled
- Fast Roaming is DISABLED
- 2.4GHz channel is set to Auto
- 5GHz channel is set to 48
- Security Option is set to only WPA2-PSK
Have you tried Kickworms settings?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
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.
How was the update to v210 applied? Auto Update? You might try a manual FW file load and then factory reset and setup from scratch.

No change with the later firmware - All three of my Nest outdoor cams disconnect constantly. Nest Hello has a good connection, so do the indoor cams. I got an RBR50 with two indoor satellites (one on ethernet backhaul) and an RBS50Y for yard coverage.

Glad those settings are working for you. Make a back up configuration to file for the RBR for safe keeping.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
