Orbi dropping wifi connections (iPhone)
Firstly I know there are many posts about these similar kind of issues already but I fail to see how Netgear, after all these years are still producing products with terrible firmware (or hardware - ...
I have the same problem. As a matter of fact I lost my post before I hit submit becuase I was dropped. This device is I problem if you have alot of wifi devices. It cost too much to be this bad. It is sad when you think about it. Those of use that use the wifi and are the ones that are willing to pay the big bucks get scewed by this. I would stay away from this device if you are going to use it, including gaming.
I have the same issue. Previous wifi access point had no issues. Intermittent disconnections especially on the satellite. Very poor product.
- Same here it’s gotten to the point where I am considering digging out our old router, this system was too expensive to have so many connection issues. We can’t use WiFi Calling on our iPhones anymore calls will fail.
- Yes wifi calling gaming both don't work. I am not using the router functions either. Just wifi.
As suggested by Netgear vendor -
Please help to clarify that problem does the symptom only appear on iPhone? Does the symptom only affect one iphone client or all iphone device? And here is my suggestion for improve the WIFI strength.

(2) Go to Advanced> Advanced Setup > Wireless Setting
(3) Region change to "United States"
(4) Unclick the box of "Enable 20/40 Mhz Coexistence" (5)Click Apply Hope this help
