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...
Lets try to help him first and see if there is a problem else where or with FW. Doesn't hurt to try a few things first while we all wait for the next FW update even though others are having good experiences with current FW versions. Not everyone is having bad experiences. Takes some effort to troubleshoot what the real issue is. It's not always FW.
A system that requires specific actions, disabling of features/functions, or specific hardware to allow it to work is not "troubleshooting" ... it's a flaw that cannot be fixed by bandaid approaches.
And you can certainly believe that.
Meanwhile I'll continue to try and help others and help find the real issues.
- It doesn’t. Mine has been up and operational since December without a single issue they two automatic firmware updates
Like tsig, my orbis just work, so a fully functioning, stable Orbi network is achievable
I was able to see my sattalite listed as a sattalite in the list on the Main unit before 2.1.4.16 the release prior. Nothing has changed in my setup since then. Orbi RBR50 is in AP mode and I have one satellite wired backhaul. I have a gigabit down/up googlefiber and all my cabling is new cat6 and cat7 high quality. I have a switch s8000 Netgear in the mix.
Mumimo, Daisy Chain, beamforming, fast roam all disabled.
Orbi in AP mode
ALL devices have static IPs entered into googlefiber Box/modem
multiple reboots performed of every single device
Fresh Firmware installs performed on sattalite and main unit per instructions on forum
Hand input config settings after nvram wipe
Followed procedure to add sattalite
Followed forum instructions to add sattalite
...no matter what I try with this version sattalite does not show as a sattalite but as attached device to the main unit.
Possible that while in AP mode it just shows in the mail list with everything else. Let see if one of the forum moderators can give us some info.
