New Orbi firmware 2.1.2.18 update issues?
I noticed that there was a new firmware version 2.1.2.18 for Orbi RBK50. Has anyone installed this version, and has there been any issues after the installation. Please provide any details that you...
That’s great...I’ve had no issues since the upgrade. But I am curious about the devices that are attached to your mesh network. Many on this thread have complained about Android/Google and Xbox issues. I only have two Android/Google devices attached (Google Home and a Sony TV run by Android). I have no issues with them. The rest are Apple, Sonos, Lutron, Netgear Arlo cameras, Harmony, and Chamberlin (garage door openers) and have no issues. (I’m not starting an Android versus Apple war! i don’t care what people choose to use!).
Hello,
My wifi device list is pretty simple.
2 - iPhones - 5G
2 - Ipads - 5G
1 - Toshiba laptop - 2.4G
1 - Roku - 5G
1 - weather station - 2.4G
1 - Epson Printer - 2.4G
Also 2 hardwired desktop PCs
With exception of SSID and password setting as well as a guest network, the settings are all default.
The following setting working great until Netgear fix them. Took out all Google cast devices for now. Solid running for 3 days with 28 devices (computers, Apple, android, roku, apple tv, android tv etc).
ANDROID ISSUE STILL EXIST AND NEED TO BE FIXED ON ROUTER
