Hello Orbi Community,
As you may be aware, there has been a new firmware version available for the RBR50 & RBS50. To access the firmware version, please use the links below:
RBR50: v2.5....
Here's an update on my latest, in the hopes it helps narrow down the cause of the issues.
I finally broke down and performed a Factory Reset and completely setup my network again from scratch. Although this did help marginally, stability is still not back to what it was before this Firmware. My devices still lose Wifi connectivity, albeit not as frequently as before. The interesting observation is that the connectivity issues give the appearance of the Wifi range being reduced compared to the previous Firmware version. I highly doubt this is case, and as such I have simply dismissed this as being just more of the same overall connectivity issues I have been experiencing since upgrading. I will see how this plays out over the next week and may decide to rollback to the previous Frimware version next weekend.
My issues had to do with internet connectivity, not connecting to the router. I would frequently get an exclamation point in my Android status bar. My roku would need to be put through wireless setup to reconnect. Basically, it seemed that once a device was connected and actively using the internet, all was well. If a device went "idle" it would stay connected to the router but be cut off from the internet.
I hope those are helpful observations.
