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.
So this is interesting...I think I am getting DOS attack blocks every time i try and re-add my sonos players back into my system. I am not that technical...is there a way to verify and/or work around it?
I think it was in an earlier post that st_shaw posted about adding Sonos devices to the Orbi network and you have to be careful to not set up the Sonos so it creates it's own network. Sono's tries to do that and then you will get loops in your routing and other wierdness and possibly your DOS.
aaz, tkshaffer If you wire one, and only one, Sonos device into your network, Sonos will create its own mesh network (Sonosnet) on 2.4 GHz. You need to set Sonos to use channel 11 and Orbi to use channel 11, or vice versa, to avoid interference. That's how I have mine setup and it works perfectly. If you wire more than one Sonos device you can create network loops and crash your network.
Alternatively, you can setup Sonos to connect to your WiFi, but if you do that you must not connect any Sonos devices with a wire. As soon as you connect one Sonos device the entire system will revert to Sonosnet.
- Are there any workarounds?
My Orbi is restarting ALOT after the update, I would say every 10 minutes.
Tried the downgrade firmware to last working version, but problem remains..
