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.
My RBK 50 (3 unit system - router and 2 satellites) was upgradeded to 2.1.1.16 a few days ago (automatically). No issues so far. Have not tested all my devices yet but the ones we use are working fine.
Since that upgrade, I have used at least 3 laptops, 1 tablet, Android, iPhone and TiVO MoCA setup and Roku with it and things are working well.
I work remotely and not one disconnect yet from my home connection to my company virtual desktop (which requires a constant connection - if my router connection drops, my virtual desktop connection would get dropped too).
So far so good.
Settings (mostly default, using WPA2-AES security):
Daisy chaining is disabled.
I do have all of the following enabled:
| BEAMFORMING |
| MU-MIMO |
| Enable Fast Roaming |
no problems here either with 2.1.1.6 wth the following settings:
| CHECKED Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING - Boosts WiFi speed, reliability, & range for all mobile devices |
| CHECKED Enable MU-MIMO |
| NOT CHECKED Enable Fast Roaming |
