Orbi Experience - (RBK50) AC3000
Just wanted to share my experience with the Orbi. I originally purchased it because we have several wireless security cameras around the house -also outside so I was hoping for stronger/more stable ...
are you saying you have stable s8 connectivity now when both satelites have comparable signal or it needs to roam? Many of us did full reset and re-paired the satellites only to confirm that S8 issue persists
Here is my current setup
- Firewall Router (Untangle u25) ip XXX.XXX.X.1
- 16 port switch
- Orbi RBK50+RBS50 in AP Mode (IP XXX.XXX.X.2 & XXX.XXX.X.3)
After the 1.12.0.18 update (straight from the FW it shipped with) i was getting intermitet drops on my S8+. I then proceeded to do a hard reset which defaulted ip back to standard but maintained the 1.12.0.18 FW. I then reconfigured and havent had any issues since. I have no issues roaming around my home without dropping the connection. As a matter of fact i am going to pick up another sat for one dead spot out towards my garage.
Oh just to add
- I have generated my own Backhaul Password
- I have set my 2.4 and 5 Ghz channels to available unsaturated channels in my nieghborhood (detected using WiFi Analyzier)
- Enable Impicit Beamforming set to OFF
- Enable MU-MIMO set to ON
Hi Jd- yes actually we went through that entire process with netgear on the phone, and it did nothing. I have verizon-- S8+, apparently there may have been some recent fixes, but did not fix for all carriers?
This was as of 8/13 as well, so pretty recently. I will wait to see all the other posts about the same issue say 'fixed for all!' before I invest money back into the product.
Which variation of S8 do you have? Carier / Patch level, Baseband, Kernel, Build
