Ongoin Interruptions on Swisscom TV with Orbi RBK40
Since month i have freezes and interrupts on Swisscom TV 2.0.
I did all you can do and never found a solution.
The TV Signal freezes every x minutes or hours randomly and sometimes loosing Wifi c...
I'm not sure whether or not the orbi system supports multicast traffic. Anyways, I recommend to buy the WLAN-Box from Swisscom. It serves the same purpose of extending the WiFi and is well integrated with the Internet-Box 2 and the TV-Box: https://www.swisscom.ch/de/privatkunden/produkte/zubehoer/internet-tv-zubehoer/wlan-box.html

- i know this Box and i wanted to avoid getting my throughput cut in half as it has no extra Channel as the Orbi has. Its also bound to the IB2 of Swisscom and does not work with any other routing solution. Its a closed environment. It works i could read but its a pitty that Netgear does not get its act together. Especially as i had a FW which worked and then the did upgrade my Box and the nightmare started again.
- Put it on the Lan gets a bit less interruptions but finaly i decided to sell the Orbi and go with the Wlan Box. It is slower because it has no extra Backchannel but it is stable.
My Swisscom TV is now connected to the Swisscom IB2 and works without hiccups.
Thanks to all in this Forum for your patience on Orbi, but there is to much hassles with this system and no more trust into Netgear.
It cost me to much time and nerves and the it works and Netgear breaks it again the next Firmware. Bye bye
