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...
All, I have suffered the same fate as all of you. Drops, reboots, pure hell.
Well I can confirm that I have fixed the problem that impacted the Orbi system. I have a TP-Link router because I do have a lot of wired connections, which the Orbi system is hooked in to. The TP-link router had the wrong time set, 1 hour behind. This setting caused my TiVO Mini to lose connection about every 3 days.
After I changed the router to the proper time, nothing has lost connection, dropped, etc., for 2 weeks now, including the Orbi. So please, if you have a router please check the time on it. If it's wrong, set it correctly and your problems will be over, just like mine!

Just checked my Orbi Router and the Time Zone was set incorrectly. Not sure when that got switched or if I just forgot to set it. Will see if changing it to the correct zone improves anything.
If you are going straight off your internet provider modem, 10-4. If you are not and there is a router prior to getting to your Orbi, please check it as well. However, i would imagine if your Orbi isn't matching your ISP's date and time it would cause what I was experiencing as well. Let me know how it turns out!
Ever since 2.1.2.18 my RBR50/RBS50 AP Mode setup will not go above 10-20Mbps download on any device I test from (tablets, phones, laptops). I have verified via wired connection my internet is functioning properly (120/10). The devices can be connected on 2.4 or 5Ghz, it doesnt matter just slow speeds all around.
My patience is at an all time low with this.
