PhloBoy, I agree with FURRYe38 when he says “Current FW is stable, there are many others having good experiences with it so is not a FW issue”. I have used FW v2.1.4.16 on my Orbi RBK50 system in AP mode with wired backhaul since it’s inception, and it has rarely failed me (exceptions being if both devices are powered down, getting them back to a stable working state can be time consuming and frustrating)
i think that people having connectivity issues should look more widely and check external factors such as modem/router setup and configuration, For example conflicts with channel numbers, double NAT, firewall issues, etc
It's incredibly short-sighted to say "because I don't have issues in my environment, your issues in your environment must be because of something other than the Orbi." Netgear has confirmed to me that Orbi has a problem with certain environments (when it should not have a problem), and a firmware update for that is coming.
Exactly!
