Please share your experience.
Firmware Update
...
I have been using orbi for the last 2 years & i have refrain myself many times in the past from adding any unwanted & negative comments everytime when a new FW update released by NG, but unfortunatley the latest update 2.3.1.44 has just made the whole thing a joke...the wifi signal is constantly dropping / satellite drops off with config issue & slow wifi speed...
its utter nonsense & i cant believe a reputed company like NETGEAR can release a software update without a proper testing, i will forsure not recommend ORBI to anyone...
& just a quick question does the telnet way of force stopping the auto FW update actually works? ie:- https://www.reddit.com/r/orbi/comments/8ke43v/how_to_disable_autoupdate/dz6xz9l/
as im really considering of doing this over the weekend after downgrading the FW.
Try a factory reset and setup from scratch. I've had zero issues with wifi dropping with v44 loaded. Others as well. Just need a factory reset and setup from scratch is all.
