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.
About 11 hours ago, I reloaded 2.1.1.16. This time I used 'address reservation" for family sanity devices (tv, iPad, iPhone) and various iot devices and the satellites. The addresses used was below the unassigned DHCP range. since then, I haven't observed the satellites dropping off or doing the x.x.x.150 thing. Watched two Netflix movies and some YouTube videos with no issues. No disconnects with iPhone/iPad gaming. No kid telling me how the wifi is glitchy.
I didnt reserve addresses for the laptops and desktops. Those lost connection with a few saying IP address conflicts.
Its a roundabout way to say I suspect the dhcp server. I'll probably sing a different tune when the kid gets out of school in the afternoon.
I take it back. I'm going back to 2.0.0.74
Hi, I am from HK and brought the RBK53 0n 310/12/2017. It was on 2.0.0.74 out of the box and no auto-update was effected by the system.
Except for taking sometimes to set up wired backhaul, which was not supported in 2.0.0.74 but the salesman told me it was possible, the system has been working prefectly. I have been up for 2 days and 9 hours now. No reboot, no wifi dropping and with around 15 devices attached. I have DHCP enabled and 2 deviced with fixed ip (network printer and NAS for access by applications)
I have also downloaded the 2.1.1.16 but choose not to upgrade for the time being. Will see the development.
