ORBI and horible streaming media performance.
Hi, To Orbi support, do you ever intend on fixing these units so that streaming media can actually work longer than 4 minutes, or I just have to chalk this up as a terrible purchase wasting abou...
I am streaming what 4K content there is without any hitch or bufferring. The local host on my TV is connected solid at 5GHz. Running ookla speedtest on Google on my TV shows I am getting full contracted download from my ISP. Been in operation since mid November, gone through initial firmware update and .18 update, with only one minor issue (backhaul topography needed switching to daisy chain off).
Without more details on your situation, not sure anyone here can help ... if that is your intention.
Thank you for the reply. Specifically, 4 roku units preform just fine since December. 4 echo/dot units exhibit lost connections. Chromecast is now very unreliable. IPhones/androids also drop but not so frequently as other devices. Nothing is far away for an antenna. A Yamaha a/v reciever drops contantly now when streaming. Nest and my frontpoint alarm seem to be ok, but they are not real-time apps. Thank you.
Lets see if I can remember all my devices.
Roku's, Zmodo video doorbell, (2) Sharx camera's, Iphones, Ipad, Android tablet, Roku Tv, HP wireless printer, Schlage front door lock, Onkyo receiver, PC
None have had issues.
I am usuallly running eleven devices plus the two satellites. Two are wired to the router (AT&T Cisco Microtower, and Arlo Pro camera base station). My only tiny issue has been when I enabled fast roaming (just to see what it would do for me) my S8+ switching back and forth actually lost its stickyness to where I usually hang out and in some cases that was not the optimum thing. No big deal one way or the other as my coverage is good, and I don't walk around while streaming things on my phone.
I'm not sure how this got checked as a solution. I unchecked it.
