Orbi Daily Disconnects
Wow. The latest firmware update has made the Orbi start disconnecting a few times a day. Going to revert back to the old firmware version. I am afraid that the router will auto update to the most rec...
I have ran the new firmware for several days but noticed the main unit loses internet connection very often Today I had a hard time even getting it to connect again. I thought it was my ISP or IP conflict but bypassed the Orbi and connect my PC to ISP router and all was fine. I even unplugged the LAN cable going to my PC from Orbi main unit and that made internet connection drop. I may have resort to previous firmware as well. This is internet connection being lost on main unit not connection to Satalite I guess that is why I never noticed. I rarely use my PC on the 1st floor where main Orbi is but did noticed a few Netflix x dropouts
Hello genobkk
Sometimes you have to do a factory reset when upgrading firmware versions as settings could be conflicting between the firmware. But are you also saying this only happened when you upgraded?

Darren- Could you (Netgear) update all of us when your will be releasing a firmware version to fix all these disconnects?
No I noticedced it at first useing a different DNS server from my ISPs it lost connection completely just out of no where. I thought it was my ISP so hooked my PC direct to FIOS connection it was working fine, I checked obtain DNS from ISP box in Orbi and it connected but was still seeing disconnects Orbi turning magnate for a few seconds then reconnecting I am rarely near main Orbi so many disconnects go unoticed but see Netflix freeze and restart at least once during a movie
I have never did d a factory reset yet, should I try that? Has it helped another's here with this issue?
