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.
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.
Posting any default settings that you have mofified, or if you have manually set a channel to avoid congestion, might be useful to others.
However, there are so many uncontrolled variables (neighbors' networks, home or apartment design & construction materials, router/sat locations in the home, # and type of attached devices, etc.) with networking that it is impossible to do an apples-to-apples compare even when you have the same router in both locations.
