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.
Lol. Well the honeymoon appears to be over. I cannot log into the web interface this morning. Keeps asking for the UID and password and says the connection to the site is not private. It's still routing and functioning normally, but I cannot do anything on the router page. I can log into the debug.htm page for the router, but not the main interface.
Interesting. After so many attempts, I get the attached error page.

And now it’s letting me log into the web interface. Go figure.
I think it’s toying with me. Tempting me to return it. It better not push very hard. With all the problem reports, I feel like I’m just waiting for the ax to fall.
I completely understand. In fact, I read this board, as well as myriad reviews, many times before I bought my Orbi system and I bought it from Costco (as did you, IIRC) specifically because of Costco's unlimited return policy.
Having written that, I have had virtually no issues (other than the current display issue) with my system; firmware version 2.1.1.16 shows 13 days of uptime for me and I had 48 days of uptime on version 2.0.0.74 prior thereto.
Further, I have found that my Orbi, in my personal application, has better range and reliability than any router I have previously owned. I sincerely hope it continues in that regard and ALSO that the more severe issues some are experiencing get resolved soon.
