Ongoing WiFi problems with Orbi and Apple -- About to pull the plug
I'm at my kitchen table writing this from my laptop connected to my cell phone hotspot because Orbi kicked me off the network again. I am at my wits end. Moving from the Nighthawk R7000 to the Orbi...
Should have mentioned that -- I am in router mode.
Looks like I am having problems very similar to those in another thread that seem to be the result of Orbi firmware v2.1.1.16
Ah, yes. I'm on V2.0.0.76 and have (hopefully) disabled auto-updates. You might want to consider downgrading for the time being and see if that helps.
- I’m actually thinking about going the other direction and upgrading to Linksys
- Same here. Can’t take this garbage anymore. Christmas with extra family over was a nightmare. The router contantly rebootin & ruining our families Christmas party. We were supposed to be streaming Christmas movies & music, but that wasn’t happening at all. Just reboots. No connection at all!
Time to find a new brand, because Netgear obviously dropped the ball here, and they’re not taking responsibility.
This is the worst router I have ever had.
They need to recall this piece of
Junk & give everyone a refund.
