Orbi Dropped connections

Orbi system is pure garbage and a waste of 400 dollars. Constant lose of internet, terrible WiFi speeds, dropped connections , the list goes on. I have even called support and the only option was to change my WiFi channels. The product is half baked, and customers should get their money back. Don’t buy this product.

  • Agreed. I keep getting constant drops on anything connected to my satellite. Pinging the router from my desktop that's wired into the satellite has 1% packet loss (attached)!

      I had the exact same problem as you do. Reverting back to firmware V2.0.0.74 fixed it in my case.

  • Ok.  Good luck with whatever you change to.
