ORBI losing wifi connection linked with another router
Dear all, Just bought the ORBI50 and hooked it up to my router Experiabox V10. Orbit is in AP modus and the wifi on the V10 is out. But they are no friends and wifi drops every hour or so. I updated ...
Thanks for the response. After a bit more research I too purchased the Google Wifi product. Have to say it is very easy to install (easier than Negear - especially for the satellite units) and so far is working well. The key word is that it is working. I recognize that the Google Wifi speed will not be as good but again, the Google product is working. The Orbi units stopped working all together a few weeks ago and now sit in a closet with hopes that Netgear will one day learn how to write systems that ACTUALLY work. Until then, the Google Wifi is a very good replacement and at this early stage recommend it to others.
I'm having the exact issue with my system and have performed all of the firmware updates and recommended tweaks. I have not yet invested in the Google product in hopes that Netgear will solve this problem, being that this was such a huge investment for me. Nevertheless it is becoming exceedingly clear that Netgear software engineers are uncapable of producting a stable product and as of today I will never purchase another product from this company. In order for these companies to stop taking advantage of their customer by placing these peices of garage on the market, the end result must hit them where it hurts...in their pocket!
