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.

Well my Internet never goes down. But if it does I wouldn't want to use the wifi anyways. Most devices like eero, Google wifi and some others rely on the Internet to work.

Yes they do.... Orbi does not. Found this recent (2 days ago) review from PC Mag.... not my fav rag but some interesting findings

Well, I can tell you that article is wrong. Eero does have QOS just an end user can't access it.
And what do you mean Orbi does not? Again, google wifi, Eero all require the internet to work for them to work.

Orbi does not require internet connectivity for the local wifi to work..... eero does.
I am aware of Orbi not requiring it. But that is not what you said above.
