Orbi MR 2.1 Update 3/23/18
Our teams are still working through the issues, but I wanted to provide a quick update on OrbiOS 2.1. We usually wait to release our software until it's available across all Orbi product lines, but ...
so I have been following the hundreds of posts in this thread as well as those prior to this one and for me the only reliable fix has been to split the 2.4G and 5G SSID's using Telnet. No matter what has been tried (and before anyone says it, I have factory reset numberous times both via website and paperclip method as well as trying every possible combination of mu-mimo, fast roaming, beamforming and daisy chain) the only thing that works for me is splitting the SSID. With the SSID combined I get numerious drops or issues connecting to internet etc. The main thing with this firmware is that I haven't had to keep rebooting the satellite to get Internet back at times but all in all splitting the SSID (like we used to have th options back in v1.x of the firmware) is the most reliable but naturally that defeats some of the object of using a mesh type setup.
