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.
I'm not sure what is happening with Orbi/Android but I switched back from 2.1.1.6 to the .74 firmware and it eliminated the reboots. Then, I switched to the latest beta firmware to test it a second time. I had some free time over the weekend and I wanted to see if there was anything I could try to make it stable. The reboots were still there and I decided to ride this whole firmware drama back on .74. The problem is that now Orbi is rebooting on .74 when I unlock my phone.
I can't understand why it's only a small number of users experiencing these reboots. What makes some users' Orbi so much more stable?
I believe this same thing is happening to me although I only see it in the morning. My phone wakes. I come downstairs and the satellite is reconnecting. However uptime doesn't change.
And it also doesn't seem to occur under normal circumstances like when I get home or just use the WiFi during the day. But when my device has been pretty dormant all night it bumps the satellite in the morning.
