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...
Oh well, that didnt last long.
Same issue persists. The difference now, it appears while using the device, whereas previoulsy, it happened upon waking.
Ipad shows connected to wifi and internet drops out. Ipad wifi must by cycled to reconnect again.
Support can reach out to me for logs, I have them saved.
Back to the locked room for more exercizes in futility.
Been running 2.1.4.10 for a while with no issues. I upgraded this morning to 2.1.4.16. At initial glance everything looks ok. If I have issues I'mm update the post, but I'm happy with the stability of the last few releases.
Been running 2.1.4.16 for a few weeks now. Generally the firmware is ok. However, seems like after 10 days or so my devices all wind up 'locked' at 40mbps each. I have a 1gbps DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem - normally I get close to 450/500mbps on each device (depending on device) I have to reboot the system and everything goes back to normal. Devices include iPhone X, Macbook Pro (multiple models) and Apple TVs - so Apple devices in general.
Anyone else noticing this?
Try disabling MIMO, Daisy Chain and Fast Roaming and see?
Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz.
Try a full erase on the system and set up from scratch and see if it still happens?
My friends Orbi is working well since i set his up:

I've had this happen with my Macbook. My speedtest maxes out at 40mbps. If I turn off the wifi on the Macbook and turn it back on, it gets full speed of 100+mbps. I'm on 2.1.4.10 which has been pretty stable, so I'm reluctant to update to x.16 since this is really the only issue I have right now and apparently x.16 doesn't fix it.
Does anyone know if a new Beta Firmware is coming or will be available for testing out?
