Orbi firmware v2.1.1.16 discussion
do we need to do nvram wipe for this 2.1.1.16 Firmware just released today? noticed it downloaded automatically.
Finally spat the dummy and swapped back to my Netgear D7800 (and its issues). After being told to try 2.1.1.16 as a beta one day before public release I followed the usual process from factory default. My first thought when I saw my satellite connection and all my devices was "Thank you Netgear". 24 hours later and god knows how many unexpected reboots I'm giving up, a broken man. My neighbour's probably hate me by now, each time the stupid orbi reboots all my Google Homes and chromecasts start chirping away on wifi waiting for setup. Wifi analyser shows my spectrum saturated! I might revisit this very expensive piece of crap when I see the community start reporting satisfaction instead of frustration.
20 hours by debug.htm running fine. No attached devices showing on Sats. Attached info on the router is incorrect . I have an Ethernet connection to one Sat that shows as wired to router.
router load is 9 %. AP mode.
17 hours by debug.htm running fine. No attached devices showing on Sats. Attached info on the router is incorrect . I have 3 sats. 2 of them are daisy chain connected (wifi).
Router load is 18 %. AP mode.
For those of you who are not having stability/connectivity issues, I'd love to trade Orbi gear for a few hours and compare results. It would be interesting to how much stability is inherent in the router HW some have received regardless of environment, and how much environmental factors are driving all these reboots and disconnects that the rest of us are experiencing. Would a system working fine in one home behave badly in another, and vice-versa, or is a system stable or not regardless of location.
- I wouldn't trade systems, but I'm certainly open to having someone poke around my stable system if they are in the Atlanta metro area. Message me if you want to compare my setup with yours, maybe we can isolate what works versus what doesn't.
