Orbi firmware update v2.1.4.16 availability
We’ve been monitoring issues that some customers have experienced in OrbiOS 2.1.4. In response, we’re releasing firmware that provides a permanent fix for the homekit issue along with various other f...
....i uploaded 2.1..4.16 did a factory reset on all the router and satellite and speeds on my laptop are bellow 50Mbits on a 100 Mbits line.
Almost constantly...If I plug everything off and plug back in I get max speed for a few moments.
I uploaded back 2.1.4.10 and without factory reset there are no problems with my laptop.
The only problems I had with 2.1.4.10 is connection drops on my andorid devices.
So please....It is firmware's fault. The Netgear team is probably very low skilled in this. While other products work great the orbi does not. It is not like they are doing a rocket science with this product or something that has never been done before. They are simply not up to the task. They should hire some expert to help them sort these issues.
Well I have tried for 28 days to get this stable and for the first two weeks its seems to have worked just fine. (with wired backhaul)
Then they asked me here to power down (as in a power faillure situation) then it took me more then 1,5 our to get everything up and running again...
But after that it seems stable again, but that was for like two days....
Now it keeps failing me with allkinds of things wifi speed drops, connection drops, satellite connection faults its going on and on.
So I am glad that I listened to the one that told me to test this bacause now I know it's not a reliable product..
There is also no response from Netgear on this, in my opinion they should have update us with information that they are working on it...
I have a 30 day money back garantee on this product and its now day 28 so after this message I will disconnect and run back to the store...
I was a TP-Link user but they just could not keep up with firmware updates....
For some reason I thought that Netgear would not have these kind of issues.....
Now I am going to try Ubiquity and see if they can satisfy my family with stable wifi and internet.
Thanks for all the help and advise here.
