New Firmware 2.3.5.30
Just updated my Orbi to 2.3.5.30. Seems stable so far. I see few "ads" for the Orbi app and links for app download in the web GUI. Otherwise I could not see much more new things. I'm keeping to loo...
Recently updated RBR40 to 2.3.5.30. After doing restarts, resetting to factory defaults, still have several issues not present in previous version:
1. After about 24 hours, access to management interface disappears, including attempts with the Orbi iOS app, and via Edge or Chrome on Windows 10 PC. On PC, neither orbilogin.net nor direct 198.168.1.1 works. Curiously, the old Windows Netgear Genie partially works, showing the network map (altho it shows most devices as "wired", which in wrong) - login not required for this, apparently.
2. Some time after the management interface becomes inaccesible, the RBR40 starts indicating no internet connection (magenta light on top), yet internet access is fine. I think eventually internet access actually does disappear. Only way to recover is via restart. Bummer. Think I'd like to just got back to previous version, which was fine for my uses; where do I find that?
Setup is straightforward: RBR40, RBW30, and Arris TMS 1602 cable modem (no router there).
Thanks
Has a power OFF of the ISP modem and RBR for 1 minute, then power ON of the ISP modem and let it sync, then power ON of the RBR. I would factory reset the RBR and seup from scratch here. Do not load any backup configurations from file. Don't enable Circle or Armor.
Swap LAN cables between the ISP modem and RBR.
How long does it take before you notcie that things start to fail?
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 when wirelessly connected.
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 enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Try disabling the following and see:
Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
