Orbi Firmware 2.3.1.60
Welp, anyone have any notes on this thing? It's already downloaded to my router and satellite waiting for me to pull the pin.
Hi,
Just for information, when you're in the Firmware Update page and it downloads new firmware to install, the version number next to both the router and the satellite is a clickable link.
If you click the link, it will show you the release notes of all changes between your currently installed firmware and the update.
Although, this "feature" is not hidden, it's not always obvious that it's there either.

Will do. Just picked up a new one, but not going to open it until I have exhausted all other efforts.
There is a Hurricane bearing down on the gulf coast so not sure I would be able to leave the house to find one later.
Can you say a little more about your ISP gigabit connection. Who is the supplier and what is the make and model of the modem/router/gateway?
Stay safe from Barry!
My connection is fiber with the 75/25 package. It is supplied by a local company called Eatel. The Gateway is the last one on this page.https://www.calix.com/platforms/non-exos-premises-systems/p-series.html
Last night I hard wired into the router with the satellite unplugged and off. I reset several times and did the 30-30-30, and it would go through setup but not connect after setup was complete. I could plug the Ethernet from the wall directly into the laptop and it worked. I called my ISP and they reset the system and now it works. I had a few “lags” this morning but so far it has been good. Is there a software I can download that will perhaps help me pinpoint any problems by reviewing history?

Do you know if this ISP gatway has a built in router there or is it just a pass thru?
IF the gateway has a router there, try the Orbi in AP mode at some point.
Sounds like you getting better results. Try pingplotter.com

And yes indeed the question FURRYe38 asked is very important, to know and ensure the Orbi isn't fighting with a an upstream router.2.3.5.30 is out.
Anyone on this already that had issues and is it more stable?
Loaded yesterday via auto update user selectable upgrade. When online today as main host router. RBS is wired backhaul. No issues seen so far. Internet speeds are to spec. Factory reset and setup from scratch was performed as other testing I did with the system required a reset.

I'm went back to .44 with telnet firmware update lock and it's been up 100% since.
I'm not going to futz with anything for a long time I was just interested to see if this new revision magically fixed it for those experiancing these stupid problems.FURRYe38 wrote:

- Update:
The hurricane did not blow me away.
So I unplugged the satellite and set the Orbi up with a fresh install. I even changed the cat going to the Orbi just in case. Went through setup and all went well for about 4 days. After the trial I went ahead and manually uploaded the firmware to the satellite and set it up with wireless backhaul. So far we are on day 4 or so and it’s working smooth. Thanks all! Glad your still around. It's hot were I'm from. Hehe.
Glad the system is working well now. Enjoy. :smileywink:
