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.
When my system upgraded to 2.1.1.16, my android phone lost its ability to connect to the network. Only when I set my Secuirty Options to WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] was I able to get my phone back on the network.
I would very much like to go back to the more secure approach requiring WPA2-PSK [AES] only. Since I had been working in that mode for a couple of months, I can only assume 2.1.1.16 introduced an issue.
Any ideas on what I can do, or an acknowledgement that Netgear is aware of the issue and working on it? Since I am new to netgear I would like to learn how I can report this issue to Netgear directly.
- That's very strange. My Android is running Oreo 8.0 and my router security is set to aes only. All our mobile clients from Android to iOS have no issues connecting.
It really seamed strange to me also. I am on Android 7.0 with no chance to upgrade.
The other Android phones in the house (one older, one newer) had no issues either.
In looking at my phone, I cannot find a way to change any connection security settings.
