New Orbi -- Connection Issues and Drops (tales of woe)
Hey there; I just installed an Orbi system with 2 sats last month. I'm connected to a ATT UVerse router in passthrough mode. My users (my wife and kids) are complaing about unrelialble con...
I'm having the exact same issues you are (and also have the same u-verse setup). The Orbi is dropping all wireless connections randomly. Randomly rebooting. At first I thought it was AT&T fiber service, but it isn't. The service stays connected the entire time while the Orbi drops. I'm not sure what's going on. I've had the Orbi for over a year now and when I first got it, it had similar issues but subsequent firmware updates fixed it.
That's helpfup -- thanks.
As it happens, I am considering ditching UVerse due to bandwith caps and other issues (like the fact that I suspect they are partially to blame for my Orbi problems).
The cable guy (yuck) is coming out Friday to install a cable modem. I will have both running at once -- so I will be able to switch back and forth between UVerse and cable to do some testing.
If I stil have problems with the cable modem then I will know that the Orbi is the probem and will consider moving to the Linksys.
