Orbi looses Internet for a while on iPads and iPhones, while WiFi stays on
Hi, my iPhones and iPads are loosing Internet connection every once a while, remaining connected to Wifi. The indicator shows full signal, so it's weird. The connection restores after appr. a minute...
Well, that's bad news. What is the better option? Any alternative?
It has solved all my coverage problems like a sharm...
As far as alternatives go, there are two I would recommend.
If you're non-technical, or would just rather things be as simple as possible, then the Eero's are highly rated. A lot of people speak highly of them though I never used them. I do think you will suffer a minor speed degregation, but you'll have stability.
If you don't mind a little bit more technical of a solution, but still pretty easy, go with the Ubiqity Unifi's. I swapped out our system for the Ubiquiti Unifi's about a month ago. Not a single problem since - and blazing fast. However, the Unifi system does require that you run the "controller" software somewhere locally - it's not embeded in the access points. The easiest is to just buy their cloud-key option ($90 in addition to their access points).
