Hello Everyone

If you are still having issues after updating your Orbi unit you may want to factory reset the Orbi and test again. If you are still having disconnect issues or other issues with this firmware please create a new thread or contact our support team.

The disconnection issue is obviously proving to be a nightmare.
It's probably all hands to the pump to get it sorted.
But maybe some focus on the wired back haul would help some users to get a more stable environment. I appreciate is not ideal but sometimes offering a token can go a long way.
Other systems have done it, including Daisy chain so it's not beyond the realms of possibility.
Just a thought.

I've been having a ton of drops on my iPad and iPhone as well. Driving me nuts. Haven't noticed it with my Macbook though suddenly my wife's MB Air will no longer connect to the wifi (hasn't been a problem for the last month or so since it was installed). I may request the beta firmware as well...
Darren, is there a ballpark ETA for the firmware to come out of beta (or a goal at least)? I understand that reality doesn't always match up to plans but some idea would be helpful. I don't want to mess with a beta firmware if the stable version is expected to be released in the next few weeks. If we are looking at months, yeah, sign me up.
