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.
Major issues after update. I can not get my 3rd satellite to connect to the system, even when having it next top router, following the sync button press and also tried 2 different satellites since I had an extra. It just fails. So can if not connect 3 satellites any longer? This update is horrible and killed everything. Also it stated today that it changed the routers IP address so it doesn;t conflict with myn internet provider. Was very weird way this message came throughj. Also was getting blocked access to regular web-sites with a page that popped up stated I needed to enter the serial number of theb router. Is anyone from Netgear going to response on this thread to the issues? I had a raid from them spent a total of $2k, and it died a year later and they wanted me to pay $300 to speak to someone on the phone. I am going to attempt to call them to resolve, but not paying.
Major issues with the RBK50 and 2.1.1.16 firmware. Seeing PS4 issues with VOIP party chat (Constantly dropping connections), and my VOIP phone (actually making it ring constantly). Tried calling support, no real answers there. I’m coming from an R7000 running tomato firmware. And the Netgear firmware is leaving a lot to be desired. Hard coded VPN option, and lack of configuration options.
Not sure if I was seeing any reboots....but overall speeds seemed worse.
