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 ...
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.
