Orbi and Lennox iComfort thermostat
I've just had a new Lennox iComfort thermostat installed, and it will not connect to Orbi. The thermostat will connect to my iPhone hotspot, but not Orbi. The thermostat shows a good WiFi signal fro...
I have the same setup, with the Lennox iComfort, and ever since the latest forced Orbi firmware it won't connect at all. I reset the wifi password to be super simple with no special characters after reading the iComfort has issues with those, and it connected once for about an hour last night before failing to connect again all day today.
For me this is a fairly recent thing, coinciding with the newest firmware. I think it broke something.
wonder if it could be a 2.4ghz channel issue.
I have daisy chain, MIMO, fast roaming, and beamforming all disabled, and it still refuses to connect (or does so intermittently).
The only option I had enabled when the iComfort was working, was daisy chain. It had no issues. But since the latest Orbi update the iComfort panel would actually detect three separate SSIDs for my network. Noticed the same thing on a New 3DS system ... three separate SSIDs when there should only be one, but at least the 3DS was able to connect.
Figured that might be a problem, so I disabled daisy chain. Now the devices only detect one SSID as they should, but the iComfort thermostat still won't connect to Orbi.
Since everything was working for me on the previous update, is there any way to simply block the auto-update feature if I could go back to the older firmware?
Frustrating that auto-update isn't a standard option to disable.
