If you are still having issues after updating your Orbi unit you may want to factory reset the Orbi and test again. If you are still having disconnect issues or other issues with this firmware please create a new thread or contact our support team.

It's most definitely the Orbi having the WiFi issues. I have never had that issue with a router. My PS4, Tivo, Samsung Galaxy. Almost any device connected to wifi would just suddenly lose connection and I have to toggle the wifi on my android device to connect back to the network. This is very frustrating. I noticed this on the second day that had the Orbi setup. I can't believe we don't have a firmware to fix this yet. Maybe the ethernet backhaul would fix this issue. If we were to ever get that. The disconnecting issue is huge IMO this needs to be fixed asap. You can't do any competitive online gaming with this going on.
No issues here. Seven days of logs since FW update, with zero disconnects or logged error messages. AP mode.
