orbi has to go!

well, because the sporadic " live view" on all three devices(echo show, iphone 11 and fire tv), I packaged up the Orbi RBR10 ( the model field when posting this required a model number, however my RBR10 didnt appear as an option, so I seleced RBR20)and will go with just my modem/router combo supplied by my ISP.

I did give the Orbi a chance however, because it got my RSSI to -45 or so, which was great. The doorbell worked, alerted my on apple watch, iphone and echo show(assuming I was home) but the live view seldom worked, and there was no pattern as to whether it worked or not....may work on the phone and a minute later not on the echo show. So because of that I am back to just the supplied modem, and since yesterday everytime I tried to access live view it worked flawlessley......wish I could figure it out...clearly an Orbi issue for sure.

  • What kind of modem were you trying to run with the orbi?

        If it has WiFi built in that will require special configuration of the orbi
